Camp Oasis -
At Camp Oasis everyone has Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis -- in fact, it's a requirement to attend! Camp Oasis is a co-ed residential camp program with a mission to enrich the lives of children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis by providing a safe and supportive camp community. We have camp locations around the United States where campers can swim, hike, do arts and crafts, and just hang out with other kids and teens.

Great news! Camp Oasis 2009 attendees will receive a special camp bag at the end of their stay with information on all the ways you can stay involved with CCFA's many programs and events throughout the year, be it raising money for research and programs via your own personal fundraising page, participating in Take Steps or getting involved with the CCFA Youth Council program. Your support for children and adults living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can live on long after the last day of camp.


CCFA’s National Youth Leadership Council -
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's National Youth Leadership Council works to increase awareness of IBD through youth-focused advocacy and fundraising. The goal of the Council is to unify youth leaders invested in enhancing and strengthening our mission.
Thanks to the partnership between the Foundation and UCB, youth leaders serve as advocates for patients through local and national campaigns. The Council also creates new fundraising opportunities, while supporting and increasing support for existing programs. Council members develop leadership skills and prepare for even larger roles as advocates for people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
