In its 15th year Camp Sparkle at Gilda’s Club  Grand Rapids will take place virtually through Zoom. Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids will (GCGR) continue the tradition of the annual day camp for children entering first through fifth grades who have been impacted by cancer or grief for any reason. It provides children with a chance to connect and interact with other children who have struggled through situations similar to their own.

 The camp is free to attend and open to students from all surrounding communities. It will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from July 7-July21.

Camp Sparkle is facilitated by master’s level professionals with support by trained volunteers and includes programs form various community partners.
