Last checked August 2026
Smile-A-Mile is a Birmingham nonprofit that has run camps for Alabama children diagnosed with cancer since 1985. It holds five camp sessions a year at Children's Harbor on Lake Martin — including a younger-kids camp, a teen camp, a junior/senior camp, an off-therapy family camp and a session for siblings — alongside year-round hospital and outpatient outreach at Children's of Alabama's hematology/oncology floor. All programming is free to families, and the organization also offers college and trade-school financial assistance to pediatric cancer patients.
