Camp Get-A-Well-A

Camp Get-A-Well-A is proud to partner with Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare.

Camp Get-A-Well-A began partnering with Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in 2007. We started with a 6-day camp and are now running programming year round. At Gillette Children's Camp Get-A-Well-A not only serves the inpatients in the hospital, but the children in the clinic waiting rooms.

S'more Camp

Camp activities at Gillette Children's 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 craft projects, carnivals, storytelling- basically the same things we do at camp- just more often!

Testimonials

Thank you so much for bringing your fun camp to our patients! Your activities were so fun and creative, and most importantly, they included ALL of our kids! A majority of the kids at our hospital have disabilities, and they are not always able to attend camp because of their high medical needs and frequent hospitalizations. By bringing your camp to our hospital, our patients were able to be a part of something that allowed them (and their parents and siblings!) to feel like just a regular kid. Our kids were PROUD that they were able to go to camp, and wore their camp shirts to prove it! Your camp not only means so much to our patients, but also to their parents.

- Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, Child Life Specialist

Having a child in the hospital is very stressful for a parent, especially when their child is upset or is in pain. The camp activities gave our patients something to look forward to, and they gave them the opportunities to socialize with other kids, be creative, and laugh! Our parents appreciated this so much! Thank you again, JoLanne and volunteers! Gillette loves Camp Get-A-Well-A!
