Description
Camp Goodtimes's programming includes a no-cost pediatric oncology camp for patients, survivors and siblings affected by cancer. We welcome campers from western Washington and Alaska, ages 8-17, for two separate weeks of residential overnight summer camps and a weeklong kayak trip for young adult survivors. Each year we serve around 225 children and 15 young adults. A dedicated staff of 200 volunteers and two employees support all three programs.
