Mini Day Camp Rainbow

Beginning in June, 1997, a mini day camp for one week was set up for 4 and 5 year olds with cancer or blood related disorders. Mini Camp is held during the same week and at the same place as Camp Rainbow. From 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. these campers participate in special age appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, drama, music, nature activities, sports, swimming and more. They follow the daily themes of Camp Rainbow and integrate into some camp activities. Two adults and two unit heads oversee Mini Camp. The older campers also help out during the week.

Teen Camp Rainbow

Teen Camp began in January 1990 as a weekend camping experience for teens with cancer or blood related disorders. Special themes for the weekend deal with communication, relationships, and self-esteem. The teens are involved in activities such as bowling, challenge course, nature hikes, games, movies, arts and crafts and more. They cook meals and take a leadership role in some of the activities.
