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
A few words about us
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
At Camp, we deliver happiness
“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”.
Camp Programs
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.
Events
Children’s Oncology Services operates three major fundraising events each year.
