a dream built
from a need
Idaho’s medical camp began as a dream for Camp Rainbow Gold, which has served children living with cancer and their families for more than 40 years. For decades, the organization put enormous effort into setting up Camp Rainbow Gold at different camp sites, only to pack it all up again until the next year.
With the purchase of Hidden Paradise in in 2019, Camp Rainbow Gold created its permanent home—and discovered how many more people it could help by opening the doors to organizations with similar missions.
Now other nonprofits serving a range of populations have access to a stable, long-term medical camp they can retreat to again and again. Hidden Paradise is a place they can call their own, too.
