Unbridled fun. Uninhibited kids. Unbelievable acceptance and love.
Roundup River Ranch enriches the lives of children with life-altering medical diagnoses and their families by offering free, medically-supported camp programs that provide unforgettable opportunities to discover joy, friendships, and confidence.
“I think it’s important for kids to come to camp because they can feel open about their sickness and not have to worry about being left out. You have somebody just like yourself who can help you through the sad moments, even though they may be going through the same thing.” - Dominique, Camper
“The fact that camp is free is a huge blessing. We have insurance, but Matthew’s care costs us thousands of dollars each year. We would really not be able to do something like this if it were not free.” - Mark, Camper Dad
"When I first decided to get involved with Roundup River Ranch, I was really hoping I could make a difference in the lives of these kids. Little did I know - they would change my lives in ways I cannot even describe." - Camila, Volunteer
Our Mission
Roundup River Ranch offers children with life-altering diagnoses, and their families, opportunities to embrace joy, create connection, foster independence, and build hope through free, medically-supported camp programs.
Our Vision
Where illness and medical complexities take a backseat to ordinary and extraordinary childhood experiences.
Here, children are not defined by their illness.
Our campers can take a true vacation from being “a patient” and get back to the fun of being a child. Here, the healing power of laughter, friendship and shared experiences offer kids the chance to make new friends, find the courage to try activities they never thought possible, and build confidence.
The incredible combination of exuberant play and incredible medical care.
With full medical, physical and emotional support from healthcare professionals, trained staff and dedicated volunteers, campers and their families have the peace of mind to simply live in the moment and have fun. While we focus on the fun of living life large we also understand the very real needs of our campers. When medical support is needed, it is immediately provided – expertly, with compassion, and with as little disruption as possible to the camper’s activities. We think nothing of venturing out on a canoe to administer a medication at the correct time, rather than make a camper come in from the fun.
A priceless experience without a price tag.
Roundup River Ranch is always free of charge for all kids and their families. Our camp is funded through the generosity of the communities we serve and our loyal supporters. We rely on the support of individuals, corporations, foundations, and friends just like you to make this magical place possible.
