Camp Carefree is a nonprofit camp in Stokesdale, NC that has provided free, one-week overnight sessions since 1986 for children ages 6-16 with chronic illnesses and disabilities, such as cancer, spina bifida, and epilepsy. It also runs weeks for the well siblings of ill children and for children who have a seriously ill parent. Medical volunteers from area hospitals oversee medications and monitoring alongside traditional camp and craft activities.

★★★★★Tori BrownWhat an awesome place! I had the chance to volunteer at the sickle cell camp this year. Camp carefree is truly a special place. Designing a camp for children who have medical conditions is absolutely a blessing. It's a place where children can go and forget about their medical needs...they have a chance to run, play, and engage in summer activities. It was truly an amazing volunteer experience. These kids are very smart!
