About Camp

A Life Changing Experience
At CCFA Camp Oasis, all of the campers (and most of the adults) have IBD, which makes for a very supportive community.  Strengthened by the knowledge that they are not alone, campers try things they never imagined.  They make friends who truly understand them.  They hear stories that sound familiar and grow comfortable sharing their own.  In turn, their spirits grow, as does their confidence.  Watch a video and see for yourself what camp is like.

Outstanding Medical Care

CCFA Camp Oasis offers 24-hour medical supervision by physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who are experienced in treating children with IBD and ensure that campers follow the medical regimen prescribed by their doctors back home.


A Quality Program

CCFA Camp Oasis provides an exciting program and high standards of care.  Group and individual activities appeal to every taste, with options ranging from the arts to land and water sports to high adventure.  The schedule allows the campers plenty of time to relax, get to know one another, and share the best medicine of all: laughter. 

 

Dedicated Staff

CCFA carefully screens and trains its mostly volunteer staff of adults with IBD.  These responsible and sensitive individuals work hard to ensure that every camper feels safe and comfortable, and has the time of their life.
