Camper Stories
In Their Own Words
Stories of hope, courage, and friendship from the campers who make Camp Watcha-Wanna-Do magical.
“Sit down and let me tell you a story about the camp I got to called Camp Watcha Wanna-do! It's a place where miracles really do come true. A place where you do all the things you never thought you could do. A place that helps cancer kids make it through. A place where cancer kids bond and make friends. The type of friends that will help them through the thick and the thin. Friendships that will last to the very end. It's a place where second families begin. That's why Camp Watcha Wanna-do is the place for me, and for you!”

“Camp is a place where people can be a family and find a common ground in navigating cancer together. When I was a kid, it was a place I could just be a kid and have fun. I did not have to worry about treatment or what was going to happen next.”

“It takes a village to make that camp run, months of planning and dedication from the leaders of CWWD to give these kids time to actually be kids.”
Until there is a cure, there's a camp
