Mission Statement
To provide youth who are battling medical conditions an outdoor camp experience they would not otherwise be able to enjoy. By enabling children to enjoy some normalcy, to create amazing friendships, and to engage with others like themselves, our campers are inspired, included, and experience the magic of being a kid.
Description
Camp River Run provides a 4-day summer camp at Hidden Paradise, Idaho designed for kids between ages 7-17 who are coping with medical conditions or life threatening illnesses. We want these children to experience nature and camping without compromising their medical needs. Camp River Run is committed to provide excellent support and care for our campers. Camp River Run also provides three 1-day camps in the Treasure Valley to help introduce parents to the incredible impact camp will have for them and the kids and to break the ice. We are also expanding our day camp programs into the Magic Valley. January 7th, 2023 was our first day camp. We plan to hold a fundraiser golf tournament on Oct 12, 2023 in Twin Falls also!
Trained and skilled health care personnel are present at all camps. Those entrusting their children or loved ones to the awesome camps offered by Camp River Run, deserve the peace of mind and comfort in knowing that those special campers are being cared for by the best. Our Volunteer health care staff is licensed according to their relative field and has been selected in accordance to needs of our campers. All of our staff and volunteers are CPR and First Aid certified. Twenty-four hour availability of health care and coordination for our campers’ needs is provided during summer camp. In addition, we tailor our volunteer duties to the specific needs of each of our campers. Information will be gathered during the application process, as well as one on one visits with camper and parent(s)/guardian(s) regarding individual needs
