About us

The Naja Shrine Patient Kids Camp Program started in 2021.  Our goal every year is to extend our care of Naja’s patients beyond the hospital walls.   We are devoted to giving patients the opportunity to participate in activities that build skills and interest in outdoor activities and develop friendships with other patients and their families.

Transportation

Currently this program is not offering a reimbursement of transportation costs to attend a camp.  Should a family need help with getting to one of our programs we will work with you to see how we can help.

Funding

The Black Hills Meat Fest is currently the main fundraiser for this program.  We encourage you to view our Sponsors who make this program a possibility.  This fundraiser is held in November each year and we raffle off over 1 Ton of Meat!  Follow this event on our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/BHMeatFest

Eligibility

To participate in any of the Kids Camp programs, the child must be a Shrine Patient.  Some programs could require a child be of a specific age to participate.
