Every kid has the right to be a kid.

That's why Special Love gives children and young adults with cancer and their families a chance to enjoy normal childhood activities that healthy kids often take for granted. From week-long camps, like Camp Fantastic and BRASS Camp (for siblings), to weekend retreats for families, teens, and young adults, Special Love's programs represent a community of support that shows kids with cancer and their families that they are not alone

 

You can join our community of support -- here's how: check out our Fall 2011 LoveLetter, view our 2012 Calendar of Events, Volunteer, sign up for our email list, or make a donation.

 

Our programs are held throughout the year at fully-modernized facilities in the Greater Washington, DC area. Check out our programs for Patients & Survivors, Siblings, and Families by using on the menu above.

  • Check out our very own Joey Norris, who's captured the attention of the Broncos' Tim Tebow.  Hat-tip to WJLA news which has the story.   Video after the break.
  • Taking pleasure in the little things....
    We do BIG things at camp. We have camp carnivals with games, prizes, motorcycle rides, a dunk tank and fire truck rides.   We transform bland cafeterias into dazzling cruise lounges. We put together over 25 daily class offerings including film class, archery, canoeing, jewelry making, duct tape designs, bottle rocketry, and much more.
