One-time donation

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.

Your generosity means so much more than just simple numbers. Your generosity is the gift of childhood. A childhood where children with cancer, diabetes or other autoimmune and serious diseases, such as Dianne, climb high ropes, ride horses for the first time in their lives, aim their bows even with their eyes closed, and make friends with whom they can talk about their disease. Your generosity gives courage to chronically ill children.

But if you prefer numbers: a donation of 25 lei means 1 hour of medical assistance in the camp. A pack of arrows for archery costs 50 lei. Your donation of 100 lei covers the costs of three meals for a child staying in the camp.

You can read more about us in the Annual Report.

Because illnesses do not take vacations, but chronically and serious illnesses children need to. And your generosity makes it happen. With your one-time donation, you contribute to the organisation of this year's summer camps. Together, we can provide unforgettable experiences to 10 campers. With your monthly donation, you reassure chronically and serious illnesses children that they will be able to return to our camps next year, too.
