About
Camp Hobé offers psychosocial support programs designed for children with cancer and similarly-treated disorders. Family members can participate in our programs, as well. Camp Hobé gives these families the opportunity to participate in fun activities just like individuals whose families are not affected by these illnesses. Our program offerings include four camp sessions each summer for kids and teens between the ages of 4 to 19 years, and two to four family outings throughout the year. Our summer camp program provides medical and psychosocial supervision to ensure children are safe both mentally and physically during camp.Learn more.
