Siblings in the Spotlight
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the experience has a significant effect on the entire family. Siblings of children diagnosed with cancer also experience a strong emotional and social impact. Studies show that more than half of siblings of a child with cancer show post-traumatic distress symptoms.
Oftentimes, siblings feel overlooked as parents and other family members turn their attention to treatment and other considerations that coincide with a cancer diagnosis. Just as a child with cancer needs support, attention and care, so do their strongest supporters — their brothers and sisters.

Adventure Together
Camp Rainbow Gold Sibling Camp plays host to siblings of Idaho children who have been diagnosed with pediatric cancer before the age of 18. Over the course of several days, we turn our attention to these children who also need the chance to have fun and make friends who understand what they have been through.
Sibling Camp welcomes children ages 6-17 for a week of laughs, challenges, fun, and empowerment. As with our oncology camps, a full crew of experienced volunteers, medical staff and a licensed social worker oversee the medical and emotional needs of each camper.
