Our dream is to offer children with cancer and their families a place of retreat in an environment of fun, friendship and love.
We hope you will join us for an unforgettable experience of fun and magical memories that are created at Camp Magical Moments.
Camp Magical Moments
Who: Children Ages 7-13 with or who have had cancer
What: Oncology Camp taking place in beautiful Swan Valley, Idaho
When: June 16th – 22nd, 2024
Where: Hansen Guest Ranch in Swan Valley, Idaho
We hope you will be a part of the 20th annual camp at the Hansen Guest Ranch. Camp is offered free to all children who have or have had cancer. And most importantly, our camp family is small — only 36 campers are selected each year – so get your request in soon.
In addition to our yearly oncology camp, CMM now offers the following FREE camps for the family members of the children who attend our oncology camp:
- Oncology camp: June 16th-22nd, 2024.
- SIB’S: So Important Brothers & Sisters Weekend takes place in February
- MOM’S: Retreat takes place in October and offers a weekend getaway for the moms
- DAD’S Work Weekend: Takes place in August and is for the dads…and yes, they usually build something for the camp!
Camp Magical Moments is a member of COCA (Children’s Oncology Camping Association) whose standards are followed at camp.
We look forward to your visit and getting to know each and every one of you. Contact us if you have any questions at 208-483-4345 or email us to receive a camper application.

I Wonder Why …
Izeyah Yenter 1995-2006
I wonder why He chose me,
A cell growing out of control so rapidly.
I wonder why He chose me,
A tumor on my brainstem that nobody could see.
I wonder why He chose me,
A year to live, it just can’t be.
There are so many things that I still want to be,
I wonder why He chose me.
Hospitals, doctors, MRI scans, and shots,
the pills I can swallow, the Thick-It I can not.
I wonder why He chose me,
To teach me and the world that only He holds the key,
To miracles, cures, blessings, and love,
God holds the keys to all of the above.
I no longer wonder why He chose me,
I live everyday as if it is my last
and be the best I can be.
Izeyeh was one of our campers who lost his battle with cancer in January of 2006.
Izeyeh – You are deeply missed, but will never be forgotten. Much love from your Camp Magical Moments family.
