Camp Programs

Find Power. Peace. Purpose. at Summer Camp

 Summer camp is a time to have fun, make friends and gain new skills. But most importantly, it’s a time for pediatric patients to gain positive experiences in a safe environment tailored to their diagnosis.

In partnership with illness-based summer camps across the United States and Canada, the Heroes Circle offers therapeutic martial arts workshops to campers and staff. The program is a non-contact form of martial arts adapted for all children regardless of physical limitations. Campers learn meditation, breathing, and movement techniques to help lower their pain and response to stress. We offer a wide variety of options, either virtual or in-person, that are tailored to each unique camp schedule and program.

Kids Kicking Cancer was GREAT! I cannot believe how perfectly it all went…we are so thankful for what you provided. We could see the impact on their spirits…

Danielle

Executive Director Camp Quality Minnesota

Our kids love their time with the Heroes Circle. We really enjoyed learning about power breathing, playing all the fun games… and just exploring different, mindful martial arts techniques each day. The parents expressed that they were super grateful for the opportunity for their kids to learn how to handle difficult & strong emotions as well.

Liz

Program Manager Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit

Because of the adaptability and adoptability of the program, there was very little that had to be done for our staff to make the activity part of our camp program. It folded right into our program naturally because of its versatility; it is one of [KKC’s] greatest strengths, allowing them to serve a wide population of oncology patients, their siblings and families.
