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 Crohns's and 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. 

A Life Changing Experience

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

• See that they are not alone
• Try all sorts of new sports and activities
• Create friendships with people who truly understand them
• Gain confidence and independence
• Put aside their troubles, and just be a kid
