Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute

NjoyItAll Camp

Campers participate in many fun activities such as:

• Swimming
• Fishing
• Canoeing
• Yard games
• Ropes courses
• Group campfires
• Cooking activities
• Musical activities
• Nature walks / hiking
• Learning about animals
• Various arts and crafts projects!

All activities offered can be modified for your child if needed. Your child will get the full experience of being tech-free while camping.

Through the generous support of the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute, the Tri-State Bleeding Disorder Foundation and other donors, there is NO COST to attend camp.

The Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute's NjoyItAll Camp is by invitation only. Eligible patients will receive an email from cbdi.camp@cchmc.org with information about registration in February.

Campers are not required to be COVID vaccinated, but all other pediatric vaccinations are required to keep our immunosuppressed patients safe.

Required Vaccinations in order to attend camp:

• HEP B Vaccine
• HiB Vaccine
• MMR Vaccine
• Pneumococcal Vaccine
• Pollio Vaccine
• TDAP Vaccine
• Varicella Vaccine

Religious exemptions are not allowed.

Medical exemptions are allowed. A letter must be submitted and signed by a Cincinnati Children's physician approving the exemption.

Once your registration is complete, all information will be reviewed by the camp medical team. Each camper must be medically approved to attend camp.

Reservations will be held based on the date in which registration was submitted. A limited number of spots are available, and once full, applications will no longer be accepted. As of May 2026, all spots will be secured. You will receive an e-mail after registration is complete confirming your application was received. The camp director will be in contact by e-mail to discuss the next steps.

Patients can choose to bring a sibling of similar age to camp with them. Sibling information will be included during the registration process.

It is offered for one sibling to attend camp for the week along with the patient. This gives them a chance to spend time with their brother or sister and share in the experience together. When including a sibling for camp, he or she has to be in the same age group as the patient. (For example, if a patient is 14 and the sibling is 11, the sibling would not be able to attend because the age groups are 7-12 and 12-17.)
