COUNTDOWN TO

Spring Camp YOLO Applications Are Now Available!

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. One sibling (age 13 to 18) may attend camp WITH the patient. Camp is free of charge to all campers.

We want to share an important update about Camp YOLO eligibility. Starting with Fall Camp YOLO, September 25–27, 2026, Camp YOLO will be open to campers ages 13–17 only. Campers who are 18 will no longer be able to attend after the Spring 2026 session. We are sharing this update now, so families have time to plan. If you have questions or want to talk about how this change affects your camper, please reach out.
