Camp Good Days - Over 25 years of bringing love to life!

Welcome

Camp Good Days and Special Times, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children, adults and families whose lives have been touched by cancer and other life challenges. All of the programs and services provided by Camp Good Days are offered free of charge for the participants, which is only possible through the generosity of so many individuals and organizations and the success of our many special fundraising events.

Camp Good Days provides residential camping programs at our beautiful Recreational Facility, located on the shores of Keuka Lake in Branchport, New York, as well as year-round recreational and support activities, in the Rochester, Buffalo & Syracuse, New York and Central Florida areas for the entire family, who are facing the toughest challenges of life. At Camp Good Days, participants have the opportunity to regain some of what cancer, sickle cell anemia, or violence has taken away from them.

While nothing we do at Camp Good Days will find a cure for cancer or other life threatening challenges, everything we do will help to provide some good days and special times for the very special children and families we serve. Camp Good Days is a celebration of life, with those who appreciate it the most…a place where courage knows no boundaries!

Attention: Starting in 2009 Camp Good Days and Special Times will be a SMOKE FREE facility.
