Our Partnership
Beginning in Summer 2019, Camp Rise Above will have a summer camp that is for children with brain tumors, their siblings, and in partnership with The Lonon Foundation, children affected by their parent’s cancer diagnosis.
This is a great opportunity for your children to spend more time with the kids they've met through UPLIFT and meet new people in their community. Plus, UPLIFT volunteers that your children already know will be counselors. This is a great way for your kids to get to know these "big kids" even better.
Your child will get to enjoy water park fun, paddle boating, fishing, archery, wall climbing, arts & crafts, and more! Support staff includes Charleston County Parks and Recreation's professional activities staff, on-site medical team, and trained volunteer coordinators to ensure your child has a safe and absolutely amazing camp experience!
