Founded more than 20 years ago by parents of children with cancer, Camp Goodtimes has become an annual event worth celebrating. Over the years, we have welcomed a variety of children and teens from Washington and Alaska between the ages of seven and 17.

Campers have included cancer survivors, current cancer patients -- some of whom are still undergoing active treatment, and cancer-patient siblings.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.


 


Participants describe their experience at Camp Goodtimes:

"I came on this kayaking trip to challenge myself and to meet others who have had cancer like me. This trip was above and beyond my expectations."
