  Roundup River Ranch is a medically supported camp for kids with chronic and life-threatening illnesses – the place where they can truly feel incredible, no matter what illness they’re battling. We put the focus on their fun, not their conditions. And most importantly, we give kids an experience that encourages their lives, allowing them to simply enjoy the fun, games, and joys of childhood – for free.Activities like a challenge course, music and theatre, arts and crafts, campfires, archery, games, and more put the simple possibilities of childhood within reach.The week long camp is free to campers and their families, and fully funded through donations.
