Camp Kaleidoscope

Provide a community for children going through a parent's cancer journey through free year-long programming and a free week-long summer camp.

At Camp Kaleidoscope, we understand that life can throw unexpected obstacles, especially for children dealing with a parent's cancer. Our mission is to create a comforting space where kids can explore their emotions, forge new friendships, and discover resilience. At Camp Kaleidoscope, we believe in illuminating the path through these dark times. Our community fosters a space where children can be themselves and connect with others who understand their journey. Each shared story becomes a beacon of light, a reminder that they are not alone. Camp Kaleidoscope is a Stanford University-based program run by student leaders that supports San Francisco Bay Area children who have or had a parent with cancer.
