What does Yuppi Camp do, and why should I trust the organisation?
Yuppi Camp organises free therapeutic recreation camps and activities for children and teenagers with cancer, diabetes or other autoimmune and serious diseases, and their families, providing them 24/7 healthcare.
We are the first camp in Romania that uses the revolutionary method practised by SeriousFun Children’s Network, the method of recreational therapy. The success of recreational therapy lies in the fact that the participants take part in activities and challenges where they discover their own abilities, talents, experience a sense of success and thereby increase their self-confidence. At Yuppi camps, children and their families participate in activities such as climbing, equestrianism, rowing, archery, handicraft, acting, and magic.
Since 2011, 1,483 campers have benefited from these life-changing experiences with the help and encouragement of 1,292 volunteers. We have organised 28 camps, 2 family weekends and 13 online camps and sessions, and we have a medical team of 96 specialists from across the country.
