Camp Rainbow Gold is more than a camping getaway. It’s a break from the stress and fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis. It’s a place where kids can be kids without worrying if they will be understood or accepted. It’s a place where everyone “gets” it without explanations. And it’s a place where children who have been diagnosed with cancer, and their families, heal more than their bodiesthey heal their souls.

Camp-tivities​

So much happens at camp! Every day is packed with adventure, laughter, and new memories. Whether you’re making a bullseye in archery, saddling up for a trail ride, racing your bike through the hills, or fishing in the pond, you’ll also be making new friends who cheer on.

And just when you think you’ve done it all, you’ll be surprised by not-your-typical summer activities, like roller skating, learning circus acrobatics, or dunking your favorite counselor in the tank. Maybe you’ll even rock out playing drums.

Every week is different at Camp Rainbow Gold. And every day is unforgettable.

Hidden Paradise

When you arrive at Camp Rainbow Gold, you’re escaping to Hidden Paradise, our 172-acre home tucked away in Fairfield, Idaho’s hills. 

Here, the air feels fresher, the stars shine brighter, and a walk across camp might introduce you to a curious frog, a family of deer, or our resident moose, “Tater Tot,” cooling off in the pond.

While your days are filled with adventure, your comfort also is taken care of. Meals are made from scratch, with fresh ingredients and, yes, we will happily accommodate your special diet. You’ll relax in ADA-accessible cabins, stretch out in the hammock village, and play on our fully accessible playground. You’ll even have access to a health center and staff to ensure your safety and comfort.
