About This Activity
SeriousFun Children’s Network offers a unique, mission-driven approach to summer camp, designed specifically for children living with serious medical conditions. Rather than a single camp, it’s a global network of 30+ camps and programs across the U.S. and internationally, all built around the idea that every child deserves a joyful, inclusive camp experience—regardless of health challenges. Importantly for parents, these programs are completely free of charge and staffed with medical professionals, ensuring kids can safely participate in activities that might otherwise feel out of reach.
The core offering is residential summer camp, which mirrors a traditional overnight camp experience—like swimming, boating, ropes courses, campfires, and arts—but fully adapted for accessibility and medical needs. Beyond summer sessions, SeriousFun also provides a range of year-round programs, including family weekends (where the whole family can attend together), sibling camps, and young adult programs for older participants. For children unable to travel, the organization runs hospital and outreach programs, bringing camp-style activities directly to hospitals or local communities.
What sets SeriousFun apart is its emphasis on emotional well-being, connection, and confidence-building alongside fun. Programs are intentionally designed to help kids feel a sense of belonging, build resilience, and reconnect with the joy of simply being a kid—often after long periods of medical treatment or isolation. For parents, this means the experience goes beyond typical summer camp: it’s not just about activities, but about giving children a safe, supportive environment where they can thrive socially and emotionally while having fun.
