Camp Rainbow Gold Purchases Property
After months of due diligence, we are excited to announce that Camp Rainbow Gold has purchased Soldier Mountain Ranch and Resort in Fairfield, Idaho. The site will eventually serve as a permanent home for our oncology, sibling and family camps.
We feel confident we have considered every detail, reviewed every inspection report and carefully taken the time to ensure the right fit. We want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and excitement throughout this process and we’re thrilled for this opportunity to secure the future of Camp Rainbow Gold.
What’s Next?
Next steps include forming a development committee and establishing a master plan for construction and renovation of the property. We intend to take this one step at a time and be very thoughtful and fiscally responsible throughout the process. As such, there is not an expected move-in date at this time and Camp Rainbow Gold will continue to hold camp programs as scheduled at our current leased locations.
Camp Rainbow Gold remains dedicated to its mission of providing emotionally empowering experiences to Idaho’s children diagnosed with cancer. However, we also realize there are other organizations in the area with similar needs for a medically accommodating camp location.
Making an Impact
Creating an Idaho-based medical camp presents an enormous opportunity for Camp Rainbow Gold and other nonprofits to collaborate. We have seen and experienced a growing need for medically accessible camp facilities. As part of our master plan, we intend to consider other medical-needs camps, bring them to the table in the planning process and make the camp available to other organizations to ensure this camp can have the greatest positive impact on Idaho possible.
After completion of a master plan, Camp Rainbow Gold will launch a capital campaign, “A New Place Like Home,” to bring this entire vision to life. We’re excited to welcome Lonni Leavitt-Barker, a Camp Rainbow Gold family camp participant, long-time volunteer and former board member, to the Camp Rainbow Gold staff as our capital campaign manager.
