Apply — Camp Mak-A-Dream

Thanks for your interest in applying to Camp Mak-A-Dream. The health and safety of the community, our campers, volunteers and staff, is our priority. Given the ongoing environment surrounding COVID-19, and in accordance with CDC, state and industry recommendations, our final fall program (the Caregivers Retreat – planned for October 14-17, 2021) has been canceled and thus we have concluded programs for this year.

Please refer to the CALENDAR in the coming months for more information. We will be posting information to this site as it becomes available for the 2022 season, along with details about when applications will be opening.

APPLICATION links below will return once details for the coming season are made available.
