Providing a year-round base of support for children and families who are facing the challenge of living with cancer and other life-threatening hematological diseases.
B.A.S.E. Camp has a double meaning. First, it is an acronym for Believe, Achieve, Support, and Educate. Second, it is a term used in climbing for a place that is set to provide the starting point for a long assault on a mountain. We feel that cancer, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, and other rare/orphan hematological diseases are just such mountains in children’s lives.
We serve not only the children who are patients, but their brothers and sisters too. Our members are children, aged 0 to 19, who are ill with cancer or other hematological disease, or are the sibling or child of the person with the illness.
B.A.S.E. Camp is unique in that is makes a difference in children’s lives on a regular basis. Our programs focus on "being normal," participating in peer groups, which children who are not affected by life-challenging illnesses take for granted.
