Camp Boggy Creek

Founded in 1996 by actor Paul Newman and General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Camp Boggy Creek was built on a simple yet powerful idea: every child, no matter their illness, deserves to experience the magic of camp. We provide a life-changing experience where children with serious medical conditions can find a deep sense of belonging and empowerment.

Our 232-acre, state-of-the-art facility in Eustis, Florida, is where this transformation happens. Once children pass through our gates, the daily limitations they live with disappear. Here, they can simply focus on having fun and making friendships, all while receiving top-tier medical care. And thanks to our generous supporters, this entire experience is provided free of cost to every camper and their family.

Camp Boggy Creek makes it possible for children with serious illnesses and their families to experience a free, life-changing camp where safety, respect, love, and joy come together to enrich their physical and behavioral health.
