Thank You for Your 1% Donations!

While 1% may seem like a small contribution on its own, together these donations make a significant difference. They are an important part of making it possible for our programs to reach children living with serious illnesses and their families – at camp, in hospitals and beyond. This is a special year for us: Bátor […]

Our 15,000th camper has arrived

This summer, Bátor Tábor was once again filled with laughter: across five camp sessions, a total of 347 campers experienced the power of community, play and shared experiences with the support of 478 volunteers.

Uplifting Stories from Bátor Tábor

A Bátor Tábor történeteiben közös élmény, hogy ott minden érzésnek helye van: a fájdalomnak és bizonytalanságnak éppúgy, mint az örömnek és nevetésnek. Ez a biztonságos, elfogadó közeg sok táborozónak először ad valódi kapaszkodót a nehézségek feldolgozásához.

Gábor Gundel Takács Is Bátor Tábor’s New Ambassador

Gundel Takács Gábor has become an ambassador for the Bátorítók community of Bátor Tábor. As a regular donor and someone with personal experience of the camp, he authentically represents the idea that ongoing support provides real help to children living with serious illness, and he wants to encourage others to do the same.

Our Mission

We change lives.

Since 2001 Bátor Tábor, the ‘camp of courage’ is dedicated to provide life-changing experiences to seriously ill children and their families, and also to those families who have suffered the loss of a child. We bring laughter and joy to the hospital beds and through our online programs within the walls of the children’s home with the purpose to give strength and courage in difficult situations through play and fun. On our School Outreach Program, we strenghten the community in the classrooms where a child with illness attends to.

As the therapeutic recreation center of the Central European region, we hold programs in Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czechia. To international sessions in Hungary we welcome campers and volunteers from these countries.

We believe that the sun always shines above the clouds.

Volunteering

An adventure that
you will remember in your whole life.

We organise therapeutic recreation programs Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and in Czechia for seriously ill children to give them life-changing experiences.

In the meantime the lives of our volunteers might change too.  They become part of a vibrant community where about 100 people from different background work together for the same goal. This make them learn a lot about themselves, about their own boundaries, and just like our campers they realise that they are heroes. This is how we change the world together.
