Camp Korey

Camp Korey was founded in 2005 by Tim Rose and his family to honor the life of their son Korey, who lost his battle to bone cancer at age 18. They provide an escape from the endless medical treatments that have overshadowed childhood by offering programs to children living with life-altering medical conditions and their families. Their key programs include, week-long Summer Camp sessions, Camp to You (a hospital outreach program), Family Weekends, and Family Day Adventures.

Wendy Ozanne told us that this year they are starting a new tradition at Camp Korey. They are making “Warm Fuzzy” creatures for each of their campers to take home with them at the end of the week. These Warm Fuzzies will be a comfort and reminder of the joy and magic of camp when the campers are facing medical treatments or just need some encouragement throughout the year.
