A Fun Place for Learning, Playing, and Healing

Dealing with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as a child is even more challenging. That is why the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) proudly established Camp Oasis over a decade ago. This co-ed residential camp program enriches the lives of children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis by providing them with a safe and supportive camp community. Watch our video and see what your children can experience.

A Life Changing Experience

Since all of the campers (and most of the adults) at Camp Oasis are living with IBD, our supportive community allows them to:

• See that they are not alone
• Try things they never imagined
• Create friendships with people who truly understand them
• Listen to and share their IBD stories
• Gain confidence
• Heal and build their spirits

Outstanding Medical Care

Our volunteer physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals are available for 24-hour care, and work to ensure campers follow regimen prescribed by their doctors back home.

A Quality Program

Camp Oasis was built upon the highest standards of care, and offers activities that appeal to every taste:

• Visual and performing arts
• Land and water sports
• High ropes and other outdoor adventures
• Leadership development (for our oldest participants)

Our schedule also allows your children plenty of time to relax, get to know one another, and share the best medicine of all—laughter!

Dedicated Staff

CCFA carefully screens and trains all volunteer staff—most of whom are adults also living with IBD. These responsible and empathetic individuals work hard to ensure that every camper feels safe, comfortable, and has the time of their lives.

Remember, you and your child are not alone in the IBD desert. Find a Camp Oasis close to you.
