Danny Cavett imagined a place where chronically ill children could feel confident and accepted. Then a Chaplain at Children’s Hospital, he saw these children were surviving, but not thriving. He created a place where he could encourage these children to grow into a person beyond their diagnosis.
“where illness does not define the child”
Since 1997 Cavett Kids has provided FREE camps, programs and special events for children battling life-threatening illnesses. In everything we do, we strive to develop Character, Coping and Connection while also improving the lives of over 20,000 children each year. Our services provide a safe place for children to feel like a “normal” kid while also receiving the life-saving medical care they need. Camp Cavett is our largest camp to date serving over 200 children from Oklahoma and surrounding states. But it’s truly more than a camp. It’s a place “where illness does not define the child.”
