Camp Patrick

Camp Patrick is a free week-long sleep away camp in Arizona for children and young adults living with Spina Bifida. It is a place where kids can strengthen their independence, try new things, and make lifelong friends with children that are similar. Camp Patrick provides a unique experience not just for the kids with Spina Bifida, but also for the families that are sending their kids off to camp. Camp Patrick creates a strong support system for these families and for all the campers that attend.

This all-volunteer ran camp is a free sleep away camp for children born with Spina Bifida. Camp Patrick is held in Northern Arizona for a week in June. Campers meet new friends with similar challenges, work on independence, and build confidence. The facility is all accessible so that every camper can participate in all activities without limitations. We have special medical staff that comes to camp to take care of their day-to-day medical needs.

In addition to donations to help campers have this experience free of charge, we also need dedicated volunteers. Camp is a week-long commitment for staff starting on Saturday, June 10 and ending on Friday, June 17. Check our website for descriptions on the different volunteer roles at Camp Patrick.

We are a 100% volunteer-run camp, so we need a lot of help! It is an amazing week and is super rewarding. If you would like to become a volunteer, be sure to fill out an application, found on our website.

Whether you donate, volunteer or both, thank you for helping Camp Patrick to make a difference in the lives of children with Spina Bifida and their families.
