Mission Statement
Camp Rainbow Gold's mission is to provide emotionally empowering experiences to the children of Idaho diagnosed with cancer and their families.
About This Cause
Camp Rainbow Gold is an independent, nonprofit organization serving Idaho children diagnosed with cancer and their families. What started in the mid-’80s as a week of camp for a handful of children diagnosed with cancer is now much, much more. Yes, Camp Rainbow Gold is still a summer oncology camp, but it’s also a sibling camp and a family camp. It’s a college scholarship program and a teen support group. It’s 365 days of making a difference in the lives of children as well as their families and others who support them. Camp Rainbow Gold provides cancer survivors with an escape from the rigors of their illnesses. Summer camp is an important rite of passage for every youngster — meeting new friends, trying new things, creating art projects, archery, swimming, and campfires. Children who have experienced pediatric cancer are no different. They are kids who still just need to be kids. With the generosity of many donors and major fundraising events orchestrated by wonderful volunteers, our unique programs are provided free of charge to all campers and their families. Additionally, camps are attended by a full medical staff and a licensed social worker to ensure the children are supported both medically and emotionally. Program staff and volunteers are highly trained and aim to provide a fun, safe, and caring community for children, siblings, and parents through every interaction. In 2019, Camp Rainbow Gold purchased 172 acres of land in Fairfield, Idaho, called Hidden Paradise Camp. With a permanent home for camp, we can provide a stable base for activities and learning experiences. With 172 acres, we can finally expand — more bunkhouses, more activities, more grounds to explore. Imagine what it would be like to build a home that could welcome generation after generation of Idaho children and their families. Having an Idaho-based medical camp also presents an enormous opportunity for Camp Rainbow Gold, as well as other Idaho nonprofits with like-missions, to collaborate and serve a growing need in one of the most beautiful and therapeutic places on earth. Our vision is to create and maintain an Idaho Medical Camp, a welcoming space designed specifically for guests with medical needs to securely connect with nature and each other. Camp Rainbow Gold is an organization made strong by love, made sustainable by donors, made possible by volunteers, and made great by the spirit, courage, and inspiration of our campers and families. We invite you to become part of the family!
