JA Camp Milagros

Established in 2002, Camp Milagros (Spanish for “Miracles”) is the only camp in Northern California developed specifically for children ages 8-13 with JA and related rheumatic diseases.

The purpose of this camp is to educate children on how to manage their life-long disease by building self-esteem through sports, arts and crafts, and other camp activities. Camp offers a positive learning and growing environment for children with arthritis and related diseases, while also providing opportunities for children to discover and develop new skills and ways to interact with their peers. This discovery and personal growth will enable the children to continue developing their lifelong skills in disease self-management.

Families are requested to contribute a $50 registration fee, which can be waived upon request. Click here to download the Camp Milagros application packet.
