Healing Hearts, Mending Lives.

Camp Reach for the Sky is a free summer camp based in Southern California for kids with cancer and their siblings. Because cancer threatens their futures, the time they spend at camp is priceless. For campers, it’s a magical place to hang out, connect with others who truly understand, and try new things in a safe environment. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity for each child to simply be a kid again.
