The mission of Brainy Ridge Camps (BRC) is to create supportive and cohesive communities for children with chronic health conditions, where healthy and active lifestyles are promoted, friendships are encouraged and a sense of belonging grows. BRC promotes partnerships between campers and staff, encourages learning and self-management, and builds peer mentors and leaders through the programs we have developed. We offer inclusive year-round support groups, youth leadership training, and condition specific residential summer camps for children and their families. By encouraging youth to understand and take control of their health, Brainy Ridge encourages children to have fun, make wise choices, live well, and become leaders.
