Also of utmost important, Camp Rainbow provides each camper with necessary medical care. 100% of every dollar raised for Camp Rainbow goes directly to provide a quality camping program for each camper. There is no cost to any camper or their family. We are most pleased that in our first 21 years of Camp Rainbow over 1951 seriously ill children have been able to attend Camp Rainbow. We are very appreciative that you care to help fulfill these children’s dreams with your donation to Camp Rainbow.
