Here’s what SuperSibs! kids have said about sib camp:

“My sister turned 18 last August, and it has been hard coping with her cancer. Camp helped me, and I’m sure everyone else could unwind and have a great time while meeting some new friends.”
-Eric S.

“There were many discussions that occurred but the best were the ones that happened behind closed doors, not forced but in small groups, comparing ideas and laughing and giggling.  When I came back from BRASS Camp, I had a whole new handful of friends with whom I could relate.” 
-First-time BRASS Camper

“I found a lot of wonderful friends at Camp UKANDU, a local camp for children with cancer and their siblings. The weeks I spent at camp were some of the best in my life. I met amazing kids who were in the same situation. Every sibling should find a camp like Camp UKANDU to help him or her.”
-Evelyn H.

“Camp Okizu is a fantastic camp for the siblings of cancer kids. It was a great experience for me … and now I’m a Junior Counselor there to be a role model to other kids who are going through the same things that I did. I hope to return there for many summers to come.”
-Bethany O.

“I was at Camp Reach for the Sky: SIBS Camp, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, since the first year my sister was diagnosed. SIBS Camp is for siblings of children with cancer. My first year was a great escape from the hard stuff going in my life. At camp I was with other kids who had been through what I was dealing with. Now, each time I go back, I’m the one that gives others someone to laugh with, a shoulder to cry on, or just be the person who gives advice and reassurance.”
-Colleen P.

“Sky High Hope Camp is a weeklong summer camp for children with cancer and their siblings. The greatest thing about camp was the feeling of belonging that each camper felt the minute they arrived. Everyone understood what our lives were like, because it’s what there life was like, too! It was the most fun and special time for me.”
-Shane M.

"I went to Camp CoCo Cancer Camp with my sister one summer, and it was one of the best times of my life. I met other siblings who truly understood what I was going through."
-Sarah H.

“I was able to attend Camp CoCo Cancer Camp with my sister one summer, and it was one of the most positive experiences of my life. I was able to meet other siblings and share experiences and feelings with others who truly understood what I was going through. I’ll always remember my time at camp.”
-Sarah H.

Ode to BRASS Camp
By SuperSib BRASS Camper


When I came here, five years ago
From the very first day, I loved it so
I met people with the same problems I had
Their siblings had cancer, but they weren’t so sad.
Camp was a place to go when lost
Where you greet all weather, even the frost
To forget your worries, your problems, your fears
A place to dry all those unwanted tears.
