The best week of the year

Join us for unforgettable summer memories with Camp Wapiyapi! Experience our unique and caring community where every member of your family is supported and cherished. Register for camp to discover a summer of fun, growth, and healing and find out why our campers say it’s the “best week of the year.”

We look forward to returning to Quaker Ridge Campground for June 2024. Our session dates are:

Session 1: June 17-22

Every day is an adventure

Our awesome programming is designed to bring campers together, while fostering lifelong friendships through exciting games and thrilling activities. Our campers let loose at the all-camp dance, discover their inner star when they shine at our talent show, and build their confidence as they conquer relay challenges.

But that's not all — we also have low and high ropes, zipline, therapy dogs, basketball, volleyball, archery, disc golf, campfire songs, putt-putt golf, gaga ball, mountain biking, and so much more. At Camp Wapiyapi, the fun never stops!

Our courageous campers

We serve campers between ages 6 and 17, with a focus on the family as a whole. This means we welcome patients at varying stages of treatments, and siblings are always able to join us at camp even if the patient can’t! If you’re considering joining this year, make sure to consider a few things first:

All buildings are handicap-accessible, and we operate golf carts to assist those with mobility issues. While there is some level of physical activity throughout camp, we can adjust activities as needed.
