Parent Testimonials

"We can't tell you how much our daughter enjoyed and benefited from this experience. We were sad to have her leave us for 6 days, but the smile and enthusiasm when we saw her at pick up was priceless. Thanks so very much!"

"That sparkle that my son had before he became ill has come back since going to camp. His attitude is more positive and happy."

"Camp gave our son the opportunity to step outside his comfort zone and do fun and rewarding things without the fear of embarrassment from his disease. We are grateful he had this experience."

"My child came home with more confidence and independence and was the happiest I have seen her in 1 1/2 years. Thank You! What a great experience."

"CCFA Camp Oasis is the one thing good that has come out of my sons UC. He looks forward to next year and thinks the world of the staff."

"Camp Oasis has allowed our son the freedom to go to an awesome camp in an environment where we as parents know he is well cared for both physically and emotionally."

"It's wonderful that there is a place my child can go and be with others who share the same illness that he has. Year after year, Camp Oasis continues to be a big hit for our child. We always look forward to him coming home and sharing his fun stories with us about camp."

"Camp has given our son an amazing group of people he calls "friend". He is so independent that he went to another sleep-away camp right after Oasis this year.  He had a stomach problem there and handled it on his own and properly. This is showing him that the college experience is not out of the question for him. "

"Since she was just diagnosed the March before camp, it has helped her realize she is not alone."

"Camp has given our daughter a chance to feel "normal" and to put her guard down. She did not feel judged and alone in her illness.  She was confident and had a huge smile when we picked her up. Thank you!"
