Camp In | Camp Quality Kansas

Coming Soon

Welcome to

CAMP IN is a virtual camp where we bring camp to YOU. We are excited to offer this program again this year to our everyday superhero campers who have battled or are battling cancer.

Campers will receive a camp backpack prior to camp. The backpack will be filled with daily activities and supplies that follow the Thrive theme. Each day we will reflect on the attributes that help us thrive – creativity, humor, confidence, gratitude and zest! Art, nature, and self-reflection activities will be included in the backpacks along with the supplies campers need to complete each activity. Additionally, campers will receive a camp t-shirt and fun items that reflect our camp traditions.

During the week of camp, we will provide interactive virtual camp sessions with live streams via Zoom and videos via Flipgrid. We can’t wait to see you at CAMP IN 2021!

CAMP: JULY 12-16, 2021

"We are really looking forward to seeing our campers this year. Although it isn't the traditional camp we all wish to attend, I believe our THRIVE program will provide a lot of fun, creativity and much needed connection for all. We are counting down the days until we can enjoy time with our amazing Camp Quality community! "

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR THE WEEK OF CAMP IN?

A special camp backpack will be provided to each camper and filled with activities for the week. Follow the schedule provided and announcements on the Camper Connection Tab for daily activities. Each day will consist of a theme based on grade level. Check out some sneak previews of theme days below.

DAY 1

Using one's imagination or original ideas. Creativity is so much more than crayons, markers, and glue. Creativity is "the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods..."

DAY 2

The ability to find amusement or comedy in something. A sense of humor helps kids build resilience, self-esteem, and critical thinking skills. Humor can help children cope with anxiety, and it helps them relate to their peers and come to understand the world in which they live in.

DAY 3

A feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities. Confident kids believe in themselves and are able to face new challenges without fear. It's about knowing you can rely on your skills and strengths to handle whatever comes up.

DAY 4

Being thankful and showing appreciation for and to return kindness. Gratitude is pausing to notice and appreciate the things we often take for granted, like having a place to live, food, family and friends.

DAY 5

Having a great enthusiasm and energy for life. Zest is living life with a sense of excitement, anticipation and energy. It's approaching life as an adventure with a growth mindset and positivity.
