Today the camp community celebrates Camp Kindness Day β an event highlighting the practice of intentional kindness. Intentional kindness is an integral part of Camp Wapiyapi that can be seen in the campersβ smiles, connections, and friendships. Happy Camp Kindness Day!
After two amazing weeks of camp, weβre so proud to announce that not a single COVID-19 case was reported during the entirety of camp. We want to give a HUGE thank you to our medical professionals on site, as well as all who helped plan safety and precaution protocols.
Camp Wapiyapi provides an unforgettable summer camp experience for children facing pediatric cancer. Patients and siblings can let go of the restrictions of pediatric cancer and just be kids, while their parents take respite. Weβre so thankful for your support. #campwapiyapi
According to Times LIVE, young children are at a greater risk of childhood cancer than older kids. Camp Wapiyapi allows for children as young as six to attend camp, thereby serving the widest range of ages in CO for children facing pediatric cancer.

Happy Earth Day from Camp Wapiyapi! ππ²π
Since the early 1990s, our campers enjoyed time away from the hospital in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Let's keep loving our earth!
What an EPIC day at the 2nd Kentucky Regional Day!
We hosted a group of adult cancer thrivers and caregivers at Bernheim Forest. Despite the cold this amazing group showed up for a bit of heart therapy and a hike in the forest! It was an incredible day celebrating LIFE.
Today is National All Is Ours Day, a holiday that celebrates the natural beauty around us all. Camp Wapiyapi is thankful to be hosted at the magnificent Quaker Ridge, where we can see our brilliant campers and team members shine. #allisours ππΈπ²πβοΈ
