 Our latest event, "Shop and Pamper to Help a Camper," at Equilibrium Pilates, was a great success. Thanks to Nancy and Equilibrium, and to all the volunteers, including the wonderful Kohl's team, who do such good work.

Camp
Casey's Mission is to provide a horse
retreat for children with cancer and their
families. Camp Casey seeks to empower youth
through adventures with horses, other children,
and their families. Camp Casey hopes to
provide the courage and strength for children to
take back and apply to their fight against
cancer. |
Where Are We
Located?
Everywhere! As a traveling
retreat, Camp Casey caters to children seeking
treatment from cancer centers throughout
Michigan. Our program is made possible due to
generous barn owners willing to “give up” their
property and kid-friendly horses. Hosting a
camp is fun, easy and allows families to forget
about cancer! You provide the land and
horses, and let Camp Casey do the rest!
How
Are We Funded?
One hundred percent of
all donations go directly toward providing an
expense free day for the children and families,
and are used to grow the organization. In the
few years since it has been established, Camp
Casey has grown leaps and bounds! We are
dependent on, and entirely funded by,
contributions from you. Click here to learn

Note From the
Founder
My most profound thanks to you
for taking interest in Camp Casey! It is my
biggest passion and I am certain that you will
learn to love it as much as I do! It is
strange to think that only four years ago, while
attending Michigan State University, I started
Camp Casey with the intent of it being a one
time gig!
Now,
with a Camp Casey site next to nearly every
Michigan cancer center, it has truly grown leaps
and bounds and taken my own life in a new (and
wonderful) direction. Please use this site
as tool to learn more about our program and how
you can get involved! With your help, we
can realize Camp Casey’s potential and expand
our program to children nationwide!
Sincerely,
|
