2025 SIBS Camp Registration is Open!
CLICK HERE TO APPLY!
Welcome to Okizu’s SIBS (Special and Important Brothers and Sisters) program.
Our SIBS Camp offers traditional camp activities aimed at developing self-esteem and fostering a sense of community and understanding. SIBS Camp allows children to feel valued and gives them the opportunity to meet peers coping with the difficult emotions that accompany having a sibling with cancer.
This year we are excited to offer both in-person and virtual programs. We will be holding three one-week sessions of SIBS camp and one session of virtual SIBS camp.
