Camp Carefree

Camp Carefree-

Since 1986, Camp Carefree has provided a free, one week camping experience for youngsters from North Carolina and neighboring states with specific health problems and disabilities. Our program also includes camps for well siblings of chronically ill or disabled children and a week for those with a disabled or a seriously ill parent.

Additionally, Sickle Cell Anemia Camp and weekend retreats for Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Brain Injury Association, Hospice, Cub Scouts and many church youth groups are held here. Other organizations rent the camp throughout the year for retreats, seminars, conferences and reunions.

Their main website is www.campcarefree.org and openings for the 2004 summer season are available.
