Camp Cambria® Foundation

Most recently, the Camp Cambria Foundation was dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the well-being of over 324,000 children living with juvenile arthritis (JA). The foundation not only funded Camp Cambria®, a weeklong summer camp tailored to children with JA, but also embarked on essential renovations to True Friends Camp Courage campsite. These improvements enhanced the experience for kids enduring challenges of childhood diseases.

Beyond this, we’re also engaged in thorough research and exploration of unmet needs within the community to envision how Camp Cambria 2.0 could further support and uplift children.

Cambria recently made an additional significant donation to Camp Courage. Learn more
