Animal Camp Applications Now Open!

Deadline: Wednesday, May 1st

Animal Camp is Back!

This favorite summertime tradition is for children ages 6-10 impacted by cancer.

Animal Camp pairs children with animals at partnered sites and offers a unique therapeutic and recreational experience to enhance communication skills, develop coping and problem-solving skills, and build caregiving and nurturing behaviors while gaining an appreciation for the cycle of life and the natural world.

Camp sessions will be held from 9:00am to 3:00pm Monday through Thursdays, and end at 12:00pm on Fridays. Each camp will begin and end at either our Beachwood or Westlake location and will run for 4 separate weeks. Applying does not guarantee your child’s space in camp. Camp space is limited and preference is given to those who have not previously attended.


For more information, contact Whitney Hadley at 216.455.1522 or hadley@touchedbycancer.org

Animal Camp is funded through the generosity of Jeffrey & Stacie Halpern and Steve & Lauren Spillman.
