Camp Journey
PASSION PROJECTS
Camp Journey provides a community of hope for children and their families touched by cancer. Dealing with childhood cancer can sometimes make “just being a kid” seem out of reach and out of scope for the whole family. At Camp Journey, the goal is to change that perception and that reality. In this nurturing, medically-supervised home-away-from-home, young cancer survivors can leave their worries behind for one magical week and immerse themselves in a fun-filled outdoor camp experience tailored to their needs.
Jacob Barnwell, Program Manager at ATC Manufacturing, is a co-founder of The Sweethearts’ Ball, an annual fundraiser for Camp Journey. Last year, The Sweethearts’ Ball raised $50,000 for Camp Journey.
