Sibling Camp
June 14 – 19, 2026
For brothers and sisters of children who have had a pediatric cancer diagnosis
Sibling camp is a week for Idaho kids whose siblings have had pediatric cancer to get away and simply be kids. They get to be in the spotlight for a week, while experiencing a week of connection and joy. This is often the one time all year that they are with other kids who understand how complicated it is to be the sibling of someone who has been diagnosed with cancer.
The week starts when most kids arrive at camp by bus and are immediately greeted by counselors, staff, and nurses. Next, they meet their cabin counselors and kids are grouped with other kids their age—this is the group they’ll be with all week. After they head to their cabins to get settled, the fun begins and friendships are made!
Camp-tivities
Being a brother or sister of a child with cancer is tough in ways that many people don’t understand and sometimes you just need a place where you are the focus. Sibling Camp is that place. It’s a week to laugh, play, and connect with others who get it, without having to explain a thing.
Days are packed with adventure and creativity. You can ride horses, test your aim in archery, zoom down trails on mountain bikes, fish in the pond, or make the perfect s’more by the fire. You’ll explore the camp for frogs, raid cabins with friends, dance, create art, or try on costumes from the costume closet. Each week also brings surprises like roller skating, dunk tanks, or circus acrobatics. At week’s end, you leave with new friends, inside jokes, and memories of laughter and adventure that are all your own.

Campfires
kayaking
fishing
Music

About 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, as well as staff to ensure your safety and comfort.
