2024 Camp Boggy Creek dates are IN!!!

Since 1996, Camp Boggy Creek has made it possible for children with serious illnesses, including Diabetes, 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.

Campers have 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.

You can learn more about them at www.boggycreek.org.
