About Joshua's Camp

When a family has a child being treated for cancer, it quickly becomes a daily struggle just to hold everything that matters together. For families under such constant stress, Joshua's Camp is a very special retreat with a life-renewing mission. We offer a safe haven where everyone in the family is given the opportunity to step back, relax and experience a feeling of solid ground. Joshua's Camp is available to qualifying registered families free of charge.

The magic that takes place at Joshua's Camp unfolds at the Metropolis Resort and Hotel, the home of Action City and Chaos Water Park, one of the leading entertainment centers in the Midwest, located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Metropolis Resort was designed with families in mind where everyone will be treated to fun-filled activities, including both indoor and outdoor adventures.

Mom and Dad won't have to worry about meals while at Joshua's Camp…it's all included.

About Guiding Star

Losing a child to a life threatening illness is a devastating outcome to families who were already experiencing tremendous emotional, financial and medical hardships. It quickly becomes a daily struggle just to hold everything that matters together. For families under such constant stress, Guiding Star is a very special retreat for these families. We offer a safe haven where a small number of families in the same circumstance are given the opportunity to talk with therapists and each other, and relax and rebuild the foundation of family support that we all need to carry on. Guiding Star is available to these families free of charge.

This recovery takes place at the Metropolis Resort, the home of Action City and Chaos Water Park, one of the leading entertainment centers in the Midwest, located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Metropolis Resort was designed with families in mind where everyone will be treated to fun-filled activities, including both indoor and outdoor adventures.

Joshua's Camp Professional Advisory Board

Our Medical Advisory Board is supported by the Marshfield Clinic Oncology Department in Marshfield and Eau Claire who volunteer their professional time and talent. Families are selected and referred to Camp by the Pediatric Oncology Centers at Marshfield Clinic, Mayo Clinic and Gunderson-Lutheran Hospital.

Trinity Equestrian opens their Riding Center for our families and volunteers to enjoy. There are Professional Entertainers who volunteer their talents in so many ways to highlight and emphasize the "Brighter Side Of Life." There are so many incredibly kind, generous individuals and businesses that provide the financial backing and logistic support necessary to make Joshua's Camp possible.
