🎂 This year, Yuppi Camp turns 15. Since 2011, we have given the gift of childhood — of days free from the worry of illness — to over 2,190 children and parents from across the country, through 40 free of charge recreational therapy camps.
Throughout the entire year, we are celebrating together by offering you small moments of remembrance and nostalgia: from moving stories of growth (camp participants who became volunteers, volunteers who became members of the organizing team, etc.) and stories about the camp locations, to achievements over the years, or simply photographs, videos, and illustrations created over time that are very dear to us.
You can follow our presents on our social media platforms: Facebook or Instagram.
