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 '09 LoveLetter, view our Calendar of Events, Volunteer, sign up for our email list, or make a year-end donation. You can also scroll down for more info.

Our programs are held throughout the year at fully-modernized facilities in the Greater Washington, DC area. Click on "Programs" below to find out more.

Up Next: 3/12-14, 2010
