ABOUT CAMP MAK-A-DREAM

History and Mission
Camp Mak-A-Dream was founded in 1991 by Harry and Sylvia Granader who donated 87 acres of their Western Montana ranch and seed money to begin construction of the camp facility. The camp was created to carry out the mission of providing a medically-supervised, cost free Montana experience, in an intimate community setting, for children, young adults and families affected by cancer.

The first camp was held in the summer of 1995 with a group of 46 children with cancer. In 1996, the number of summer sessions increased to four and now offers programs year-round. Since opening its doors, Camp Mak-A-Dream has welcomed more than 4,300 participants from across the United States, plus Canada, Mexico, Peru and Chili.

Staff, Volunteers and the Board of Directors
The Children's Oncology Camp Foundation has seven full-time employees based out of the foundation office in Missoula, plus hundreds of volunteers who help both in the office and at the camp. If you would like to volunteer or want additional information, please contact our foundation office at (406) 549-5987.

The Board of Directors is made up of 23 local and regional members, all of whom volunteer their time and services.
