Applications for Fall YOLO will be available in June!

Camp YOLO is a weekend (Friday night – Sunday morning) overnight camp held twice a year for teens receiving care from the Cancer and Hematology Center, Cardiology Center (Heart Center), Rheumatology Clinic, Renal Center (Kidney Center) and Retrovirology Clinic at Texas Children’s Hospital. Brothers or sisters (age 13 to 18) may attend camp WITH the patient. ALL campers, volunteers and staff members will need to be fully vaccinated to attend camp. Camp is free of charge to all campers.

Starting in 2025, we are NO LONGER requiring proof of the COVID-19 vaccination.  All campers, volunteers, and staff are required to take a rapid COVID test upon arrival at camp, provided by The Periwinkle Foundation.
