Camper Testimonials

"Camp Oasis is the place I get to call my second home. The days I'm at camp are my favorite days of the year."

"It's the best camp I have ever gone to. The people are awesome, the activities are great, and they make me feel like I belong. I can't wait to go back next year!"

"Camp means the world to me. I went this year for the first time, and I know I belong there. It's where I'm supposed to be. I know I am going to come back as long as I can and then become a counselor. It's a way I can help other people like me."

"CCFA Camp Oasis means a lot to me. It is a place where you can meet new people and try new things. You learn to become more comfortable talking to people about IBD. The counselors are always there to help if you have any problems."

"Camp means so much. Everyone is the same and everyone has to take medicine. When someone says they know what you are going through, they really do. Even though everyone is taking medicine and stuff, camp in a way lets us forget about our disease."

"It is a place where kids with diseases can feel safe 24/7. They can finally feel like they can fit in with the crowd. It is a great place to go to get away from everything and have the time of your life. I can't wait to go back to Camp Oasis!"

"Without Camp Oasis I don't think I would be comfortable having Crohn's disease at all. I know I definitely wouldn't be open about it, and by meeting all these other kids just like me, I've learned that it's okay to be different and people will just accept me for who I am, and if they don't, then they aren't worth it. I could never not go back to camp because of the amazing friendships I've made over the past few years, and because camp is probably the highlight of my whole summer."
