DREAM STREET
The Story
Camp Dream Street offers a camping adventure to children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses including cancer, AIDS and blood disorders. The camp is available to children currently receiving treatment. Children attending the camp are given the opportunity to enjoy activities they are normally restricted from due to their illnesses.

Camp Dream Street welcomes children requiring constant medical treatment. The camp has a complete medical staff on hand to spend endless hours with any child that has special needs. This allows the children to experience “camp” the way a child should. The volunteer counselors at the camp are there to enhance the experience and share the joy with the children.

Camps are operated in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Mississippi and New Jersey. The volunteers have extensive expertise in working with children with special medical needs. These amazing volunteers spend the entire week tending to the children’s needs and dreams. They make sure that the children smile from sun up to lights out.

Dream Street brings the dream of normal childhood activities to reality for these children. It is an environment in which no child sits on the sidelines or has to worry about being different.

The week- long camp is FREE OF CHARGE to those attending. Operated entirely by volunteers, the staff includes counselors, medical personnel and administrators who all donate their time.

The goal of Camp Dream Street is to provide each child with a wonderful camp experience.
