Inspiring Confidence For Life

"I love camp so much because I feel like I can finally fit in. Everyone is like me and everyone is nice. Everyone helps me and I LOVE IT! I made many new friends and I am so excited that I get to go back."Rebecca - a CJM Camper

"Camp was a wonderful experience for me, because it gave me the opportunity to meet other kids who are dealing with/or have dealt with similar things that I have dealt with. It wasn't until I had the opportunity to go to camp that I realized how many people have gone through the things that I have gone through in my life."Madelyn, a former CJM Camper

“True survivors are made at camp. Forged by cancer, bonded by friendship.”Ashley, a CJM Camper

“I started to cry when I had to leave camp, but my mom said I can go again next year. Hooray!”Jacob, a CJM Camper

"I believe that I can best describe the impact that Camp John Marc had for our family in the following way: Some may wonder why we sent our daughter there when she was dying, and when we could have said no so she would have spent that week with us. The answer is rather simple… we sent her there to live."Vicki, a Camp Mom

“This place must be magic because every time I come here I feel better.”Gloria, a CJM Camper

Thank you so much for providing my daughter with a place... probably the ONLY place... where she felt "normal." You gave her a confidence to try new things and be bold!

The irreplaceable counselors who created a place where I could forget my disability and the social toll it enacted. They offered a kind of friendship that would have never graced my life outside the camp. Saying goodbye to them is still bittersweet.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who made this virtual camp possible! My son loved it! He was so excited to have a special camp just for him. We baked cookies and he did magic tricks for us. It was such a bright spot in these uncertain times! THANK YOU!

I really liked virtual camp! My favorite activities were learning to bake lemon cookies & a card magic trick. I baked the cookies & they were so good! I did the magic trick for all my family members & no one could figure out the secret!
