Because Kids in the Hospital are Still Kids!®
Camp Get-A-Well-A brings a camp experience right inside the hospital, so kids confined to a medical facility can still experience the thrills of summer camp. What is our prescription for sick and seriously ill kids? A heavy dose of campfire sing-a-longs, s'mores, carnival games, tie-dye and the ever popular canoe ride back and forth in the therapy pool!
Camp Get-A-Well-A's in-hospital summer camp in a sterile setting is the first of its kind in the United States. Five-day camps as well as single event S'more Outreach Camps are available. Since 1998, Camp Get-A-Well-A has served over 11,000 kids, benefiting children's hospitals and patients across the country from Philadelphia, PA to Phoenix, AZ.
S'more Camp
Camp activities at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul, MN on the first Saturday and fourth Thursday of every month. We created S'more Camp because you can never have too much fun! S'more Camp is a 2-4 hour camp activity that is brought into hospitals all year long. What do we do at S'more Camp? Arts and crafts projects, carnivals, storytelling- basically the same things we do at camp- just more often!
Camp Stories
Gabby Walks!
The lure of a Camp Get A-Well-A carnival was just what the doctor ordered, as 11-year-old Gabby walked for the first time in 4 DAYS!! Up until that carnival, Gabby's illness left her weak and confined to a wheelchair, but the events going on down the hall from her hospital bed offered too much excitement to keep Gabby down.
