CAMP KEMO Programs

To help families navigate through dealing with childhood cancer and blood disorders, the pediatric hematology/oncology team connects them through CAMP KEMO Programs:

• CAMP KEMO – for children with cancer
• Camp Burnt Gin – for children with sickle cell disease and hemophilia
• Camp New Horizons – for children who have lost a sibling to cancer or a blood disorder
• Family Weekend Retreat – an educational and uplifting getaway for the entire family
• Lasting Impressions – a support group for teens coping with cancer
• Bereavement Programs – a series of programs to remember and honor the children whose lives were lost due to cancer or a blood disorder
• Sickle Cell Teen Group (S.T.A.R.) – a support group for teens with sickle cell disease
• Family Picnic – an annual day of fun and fellowship for our sickle cell families
• G.R.A.C.E. – Gather, Relax and Come Eat – Fellowship for our families whose children are on therapy
• Toy Box – patients are rewarded for cooperating with necessary medical procedures
• Sibling Sidekicks – an opportunity for siblings to learn more about the treatment of cancer

Our entire team of physicians, nursing, Child Life, psychosocial and administrative staff is committed to providing the best care. We don’t just care for a disease, we care for the whole child and address the needs of the entire family.
