Every day at Camp Korey is filled with adventure. The moment kids set foot on campus fun begins! From hitting their first bullseye in archery to expressing themselves with new creations in arts and crafts, the possibilities are endless.
Camp Korey relies on the kindness of hundreds of volunteers every year to carry out our mission of bringing joy to children with life-altering medical conditions.
Many folks give their time and talents while others give while shopping or attending events. Here are some ways you can make an impact for campers and famiilies.
Our purpose is to create empowering, adaptive year-round programs for children and their families living with life-altering medical conditions, free of charge.
Camp happens everywhere and all the time. Our year-round program activities at Camp Korey are modified to accommodate campers and families of all abilities so everyone can join the fun! Here’s a look at all the experiences that happened in 2022. Every experience is entirely free of charge for families thanks to support from our generous donors, grantors, and sponsors.
Campers and their families spent five days and four nights exploring camp activities together. They get to try new things, make friends, and build connections with other families. Each camp session includes archery, arts and crafts, equestrian, campfire, stage night, Silly-O, fishing and boating, outdoor exploration, pool parties, cabin chat, and entries into the Book of Firsts.
Campers and their families spent three days and two nights exploring new ideas, having fun together, and participating in all of the activities available at camp. Supportive services and community-building activities for children and families include cabin chat, parent coffee hour, stage night, and campfire.
Campers and their families experienced community events including “A Day with the Bellingham Bells,” Mariners Terrace Club Seats throughout the season, a special auditory performance of Hamilton at the Seattle Theatre, and adaptive biking and skiing adventures.
Camp to You activity kits were delivered to campers during their inpatient stays at our partner hospitals! While in-person activities were curtailed due to COVID-19, we’re excited to bring back one-on-one inpatient room visits, hospital playroom activities, and condition-based sessions for children and families next year!
Our BLOCK program empowers teens ages 15-17 to develop social, emotional, and practical life skills through participation in leadership activities designed specifically for their developmental stage.
Campers and their families spent an afternoon of adaptive ice skating – many for the first time! – as well as brought home gifts thanks to our partnership with Hasbro.
Staff and volunteers wrapped and delivered gifts of Hasbro toys to our hospital partners to bring joy to campers during the holiday season.
People were introduced to Camp Korey at community group presentations, events and festivals, volunteer days, resource fairs, fundraisers, and round tables.
Camp Director of Cabin Life, Brandon Mock, speaks about what his SeriousFun camp meant to him as a child navigating a complex medical condition and how that background informs his work at Camp Korey.
Spring at Camp Korey has seen an incredible blossoming of amazing volunteer groups and new exciting opportunities! Not including all of our amazing program volunteers, we have also seen the incredible growth of our group volunteer program already this year.
Amidst the rustling leaves and the crackling campfire, Camp Korey is a transformative haven for children with complex medical conditions and their families. Camp is the place where they explore new ideas, try things they never thought possible, and connect through the magic of camp traditions.
