Camp Side-by-Side
Camp Side-by-Side will host families August 5–10, 2012 at Camp Arnold in Eatonville, WA.
Camp Side-by-Side is a classic summer experience designed for families who have a child with cancer. Volunteers come in droves to build friendships, community and FUN. Parents and caregivers have a chance to rest, kids have a chance to play for hours and everyone is treated to the celebration of being together! During the week you can enjoy the climbing wall, the ropes course, the archery range, the swimming pool and the zip-line.
