All children like having fun. That’s why Cincinnati Children’s has created a week-long camp for our patients with cancer, blood diseases and immune disorders. The NjoyItAll Camp is an opportunity for kids ages 7-17 to develop new skills, form lasting friendships and build self-esteem. Perhaps the greatest benefit is the opportunity for children to connect with others who are facing similar challenges.
