Realized We Are Not Alone

“I have no words to describe how amazing this experience was to me and my family. Before going to camp, I felt like an outsider where I did not fit in. My self-esteem was so low that I was afraid my kids would get bullied at school if their friends saw me with no hair. Since this camp, my children and I have realized that we are not alone and I have learned to love myself for how I look. The meals were a great time to bond with my children. I can’t remember the last time we sat down to eat and had a normal conversation that did not have to do with my treatments. I am so blessed to have been part of this experience. Thank you, Camp Wieser.”

You Let Us Have Fun

“[Camp Wieser] provided a positive experience that recognized an individual’s battle with cancer while letting people get away and just enjoy life. Camp Wieser provided an accepting environment while letting individuals relax, socialize, and have fun. The latter is a big deal when people are facing a serious illness.”

Side By Side With Such Great Talent

(From a Social Worker/Volunteer) “I wanted to let you know how much this weekend has meant to me and will continue to mean to me in the future. It was very much an honor to be side by side with such great talent and compassionate people as well as be a witness to all the families that were able to join us! I’m so glad I got to meet your whole team and now I’m equipped with such great first-hand experience that I get to share with prospective campers and their families! Thank you for this opportunity and ability to experience for myself, the great well-oiled group you have and mission statement you’re a part of. No doubt, one that you find great pride in year after year! Much gratitude to you and your fellow collaborators!”

Brought Our Family Together

“Camp Wieser brought our family together and helped us heal from a long and relentless cancer journey. Thoughtfully designed and supported by loving, kind volunteers who created a special experience that will be with us for a lifetime. Our eldest daughter described it as the best weekend of her life with the kindest people she has ever known.”

Individuals Who Truly Care

“Camp Wieser has helped my family and I understand we are not alone in this fight. We now understand that there are individuals who truly care and want to help those in need. Camp Wieser was very friendly and welcoming. I loved how much love I felt from the moment we arrived. How much more special I felt. Camp Wieser reminded me that just because I am fighting for my life doesn’t mean I can’t have a great time. It helped me to feel that I am not alone in this. There are people out there with big hearts who actually care! And who take their time to make it possible for people like me to enjoy a weekend away from pain.”

The Foundation is Top Notch!

“Camp Wieser provided an excellent opportunity to enjoy quality time with my family while not being burdened by cancer issues for a few days. It was great to share with and support other families. The foundation is top notch.”

Camp Was a Magical Experience

“Camp was a magical experience. It was nice to be with others that are also in the fight, to hear their journeys. It was nice to get away from the treatments, doctor appointments and make some special memories with family.”

Helped Us Get Through Some Rough Times

“We had to cancel some planned trips and that was almost harder than the chemo. Then I was invited to Camp Wieser. Looking forward to some time way from the medical issues helped us all to get through some rough times. The reality of Camp Wieser far exceeded the expectations. We were pampered, taken care of and had so many great activities to do, I cannot thank all the volunteers enough. We came back ready to continue the recovery process. THANK YOU!”

Amazing For My Whole Family

“Camp Wieser was amazing for my whole family. My spouse said it was the first time in six years that she has felt in control of her own body.”
