Enriching The Lives Of Children With Serious Illnesses And Their Families
The 40&8 Locale 1120 supports the Camp Boggy Creek organization to assist in their mission of creating a free, safe, and medically-sound camp environment that enriches the lives of children with serious illnesses and their families.
Camp Boggy Creek was founded in 1996 by Paul Newman and General Norman Schwarzkopf, with one simple premise in mind… that every child, no matter their illness, could experience the transformational spirit and friendships that go hand in hand with Camp.
Since 1996, Camp Boggy Creek has made it possible for children with serious illnesses to enjoy a camp experience in a safe, medically- sound environment. Located just a short drive from Orlando, Florida, the 232-acre Camp serves children ages 7-16 who’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness. As a year-round retreat, Camp Boggy Creek is able to serve thousands of campers and their families through activity-packed weekly and weekend camp programs. The Camp offers children the chance to catch their first fish, go horseback riding or climb our ropes tower, all while making new friends. Beyond boundless fun, Camp Boggy Creek provides fellowship. Children can spend time with others who are just like them and share their life-experiences, which serves as a reminder that they are not alone.
