This summer, we are inviting seriously or chronically ill children, teenagers, and their family members to 4 camp sessions. Among these, the Sibling Camp and the International Family Camp promise to be particularly special.

Traditionally, we have held 4-day Sibling Camps in the spring, where children affected by illness bring their healthy siblings. Unfortunately, due to economic challenges, we haven’t been able to organize this type of camp for the past two years. However, we believe it is crucial to have a camp session focused on building sibling relationships. Prolonged, serious illness often weakens or complicates this special bond. For example, siblings might not see each other for extended periods during hospital treatments, or the disruption in family dynamics might result in less attention for the healthier siblings. Therefore, in the summer of 2024, we will be holding a Sibling Camp: in our third summer camp session at the end of July, children and teenagers living with illness will come together with their siblings.

In early August, we will be welcoming Czech and Slovak families. In our session organized in collaboration with our international co-foundations (Czech and Slovak Spolu s odvahou), which is slightly shorter than the 6-day camps exclusively for children, not only will campers come from Czechia and Slovakia, but there will also be volunteers who do not speak Hungarian. Thus, the working languages of the session will be both Hungarian and English. Our international camps have repeatedly proven that play and laughter are the strongest universal languages – and we know this time will be no different!
