Camp Carpe Diem

It’s important that every child feel special, and a child with epilepsy or seizure disorder is no different. At Camp Carpe Diem, we promote positive self-esteem with fun and learning. We give every child the chance to experience camp, build friendships and make memories to last a lifetime.

Camp Carpe Diem

Camp Carpe Diem

Camp Carpe Diem is a week-long summer camp for kids ages 7 to 18. Started in 2010, Camp Carpe Diem is a place where our patients can get outside, play, learn and make friends with kids who understand what it's like to live with epilepsy. Made possible through the generous support of our donors, Camp Carpe Diem is offered at no cost to our campers. Our camps rely on donor support and every dollar counts.

Volunteers are essential to our camps. Many Children's employees and other community volunteers give their time and talents to ensure that our campers have a safe and memorable experience. With a dedicated team of medical professionals, cabin counselors and other support staff, parents can rest assured that their child is in good hands. Our licensed medical professionals provide around-the-clock, on-site medical care the entire week of camp.

Campers must have a medical form completed and signed by a medical provider each year. Please complete the Camp Carpe Diem Medical Form with your application to be considered.
