CAMP IS MORE THAN A PLACE

Hello Friend!

Thank you for playing along with us at CAMP IS MORE THAN A PLACE.  We know that families face many challenges and we want to help support you as best we can.  Working closely with our partner psychosocial teams, there are a few resources below you may find helpful.

Your clinic Social Worker, Child Life Specialist, or Psychologist at the hospital can help you navigate additional resources and answer any questions you might have. We know these may not be a fit for everyone, be sure to contact your medical team with any questions.

Financial Resources

For financial resources, the following are organizations where families can apply for assistance for equipment and medical-related needs (application should be submitted prior to obtaining, previous expenses cannot be reimbursed).  There are different eligibility requirements and not all are specifically for medical equipment (as most assist with more than equipment).  Contact your Social Worker or Psychologist for more information and help to navigate financial assistance.
