MS Adventure Camp

MS Adventure Camp Locations

MS Adventure Camp brings together children going into grades 4-12 who live in a household with someone affected by MS for summertime fun and personal growth. Campers enjoy jam-packed days filled with recreational activities, like swimming and campfires, along with special MS education programs for a truly unique and enriching camp experience.

In this caring and relaxed environment, kids can open up and connect with others who share similar life experiences. Through the laughter, s’mores and friendships, they will leave feeling empowered by their newfound MS community with memories to last a lifetime.

All MS Adventure Camp locations are open to everyone, regardless of state residency.

Things to Know

  • Approximately 25% of campers’ time is focused on MS-related programming – the rest is spent having fun in the sun!
  • The fee for each child to attend MS Adventure Camp varies by location. No one will be turned away because of inability to pay.

“My mom thought it would be beneficial for me to understand the disease and how it affects her and our family. It’s a great place for kids to express their feelings and ask questions. It’s also a place where kids can just be kids. I love seeing my old friends and making new ones. It’s just a lot of fun!”
