Camp Boggy Creek

Mission

Camp Boggy Creek’s Mission is to foster a spirit of joy by creating a free, safe and medically-sound camp environment that enriches the lives of children with serious illnesses and their families. Camp Boggy Creek never charges campers to attend and never asks them to contribute anything other than a positive, playful attitude and Above All, Have Fun!

About

Since 1996, Camp Boggy Creek has made it possible for children with serious illnesses to enjoy a camp experience in a safe, medically- sound environment. Located just a short drive from Orlando, Florida, the 232-acre Camp serves children ages 7-16 who’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness. As a year-round retreat, Camp Boggy Creek is able to serve thousands of campers and their families through activity-packed weekly and weekend camp programs.

The Camp offers children the chance to catch their first fish, go horseback riding or climb our ropes tower, all while making new friends. Beyond boundless fun, Camp Boggy Creek provides fellowship. Children can spend time with others who are just like them and share their life-experiences, which serves as a reminder that they are not alone.

"It's not that the children say, 'Thanks for a wonderful time.' It's that they say, 'Thank you for changing my life.'"

—Co-Founder, Actor Paul Newman
