Building Together

If it takes a village to raise one child, it will take many hands to build this camp.

Business leaders and community pillars are standing up, stepping forward, and committing to make Hidden Paradise a reality.

NFL Great Leads the Team to Heal Idaho

Carson Palmer, former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner

“In my career, I’ve been surrounded by men who many characterize as some of the toughest “heroes” on earth,” said Palmer. “These children have gone through years of chemotherapy, surgeries, radiation, or live with other medical challenges—they are the true heroes. They are the ones I sit in awe of. And I’m determined to do what I can to make up for the time they’ve lost getting to just be kids.”

Building for Good

Tim R. Wilcomb, Partner Jordan-Wilcomb Construction, Inc.

“I have a strong desire to do good for others by sharing insight and experience I have gained over years of building projects similar to this camp. I do believe that people are inherently good, and I have this belief confirmed each day when working with Hidden Paradise. Sometimes the best way to promote goodness in this world is to just do something good for others.”

Leaders Building Together

Chuck Graves, President, McAlvain Companies

“Camp Rainbow Gold’s project to build a medical camp for Idaho is personal to me. Not only because I am a cancer survivor, but because I believe so strongly in this organization, its oversight team, and the multitude of volunteers who make these camps possible. We have compiled an amazing team of top construction executives and engineers in this state; all who are giving much of their time and knowledge to plan and build this camp.”

We Know Idaho

Jake Centers, Owner, Blackrock Homes

“At Blackrock Homes, we like to say, “We know Idaho, we helped build it.” With over 25 years in the residential construction business, we felt it was time to give back. And we can’t think of a better project that will have a greater impact on Idaho children, families, and adults than helping to build Idaho’s first and only medical camp, Hidden Paradise. Every child deserves a chance to play, be around friends, and experience the joy of being outside and enjoying nature.”

Investing in Idaho's Children

Charlene Maher, President and CEO of Blue Cross of Idaho

“Blue Cross of Idaho is committed to investing in Idaho’s children to ensure each has an opportunity to grow, learn, and most importantly – be a kid. We are so pleased to partner with [Hidden Paradise] to build their new facility near Fairfield – which is the first medical camp in Idaho. I cannot wait to see joyous looks on the faces of children when they see the new camp complete.”

Idaho Construction Businesses Work Together to Build New Cabins

Under the direction of Blackrock Homes, a multitude of subcontractors, construction workers, and vendors are linking arms to build 12 new ADA cabins and 2 shower houses as a gift for Idaho’s children dealing with medical challenges.
