Camp One Step empowers children who have been diagnosed with cancer to find new hope and believe again in a brighter future.
A lot of tough challenges come along with being a young cancer patient. Friends, school and sports are often replaced by doctor visits, sick days and chemotherapy treatments.
Power of One Challenge September 3, 2018 – September 29, 2018
September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness month and we are looking for companies to join our community by participating in “The Power of One” Virtual Corporate Challenge. Join our virtual challenge, download the app and choose your fitness and fundraising goals for the four-week event. People from all over the country can participate since work-outs are done wherever you are- including the treadmill.
Every person who participates will make a significant impact helping to send a child to camp. One individual, One team, One company, One community coming together to bring the simple joys of childhood back to children who have been diagnosed with cancer, is the Power of One!
Join our volunteer team and impact the lives of children diagnosed with cancer
Camp One Step exists to heal these scars that no one can see. Through community, support and shared experiences with peers, we deliver happy, pain free medicine called “camp.” We empower children to find new hope and believe again in a brighter future.
Let us introduce ourselves
Camp One Step is a leader in providing empowering, supportive, educational and fun experiences for children (5-19) who have been diagnosed with cancer. We are the only local organization to offer 11 different programs throughout the year serving children and families who live in Illinois, Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest.
Why Camp One Step
“There is no other place on earth that can match the happiness and joy of going to camp. Going to Camp One Step made a big change in my life. Everyone was very welcoming. I will never regret going to Camp One Step. Seeing so many friendly faces can really put a smile on your face. There is no other place on earth that can match the happiness and joy of going to camp”.
In addition to our highly attended two-week overnight Summer Camp which serves over two hundred children each year, we now offer a total of eleven programs throughout the year designed to meet the emotional, educational, and support needs of pediatric cancer patients and their families. We are a volunteer-driven organization with the assistance of more than 400 volunteers who deliver outstanding support to children from a wide range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
