June is National Cancer Survivors Month. This month is designated to honor cancer survivors and support those who cope and continue living their lives despite the daily fight they face. What's more, Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation and The Caring Place - Nevada honor these survivors throughout the year, every day, and each time they walk through our doors of hope. We are grateful to those who allow us into their lives and on their journey. We ask that you give grace to others as you never know what diagnoses or difficulties they may be facing. If you would like to support children and adults fighting cancer in our community, visit nvccf.org and donate to our financial, psychological, educational, social, and emotional support services for those diagnosed with cancer.

Camp Cartwheel Hosts Critically Ill Children & Their Siblings

Camp Cartwheel is a program of the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation (www.nvccf.org). We strive to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve through the therapeutic benefits and fun of CAMP!

Camp Cartwheel is an annual summer camp created and facilitated by Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation (NVCCF). Since it began in 1996, Camp Cartwheel has grown to two camp sessions hosting over 200 critically ill children diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and their siblings, ages 5 to 17, along with over 150 volunteers. The overnight camp is a medically supervised outdoor experience with swimming, canoeing, arts & crafts and more. Celebrating 22 years of hope in 2018, Camp Cartwheel is an opportunity for children diagnosed with cancer, HIV/AIDS, sickle cell, renal, blood and immunologic diseases to forget about their disease and have some fun if even for a short time. Camp Cartwheel is made possible by donations accepted year-round from the Southern Nevada community and beyond. As of 2018, NVCCF has been serving patients in Southern Nevada for 25 years.
