Camp Korey - History Paul Newman founded the first SeriousFun Camp twenty years ago as a place for children struggling with serious illness to recharge and reclaim their lost childhood. Inspired by this model, Tim Rose and his family founded Camp Korey in 2005 to honor the life of his son, Korey, who lost his battle with cancer at age 18. An official member of the SeriousFun Children's Network (formerly known as the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, Camp Korey continues to grow and serve the children and families of the Pacific Northwest. Camp Korey is rooted at the historic 818-acre Carnation Farm, owned by the Stuart Family and part of the rich Snoqualmie Valley history. Camp Korey - Campers Aged 7-17, campers with a wide range of medical conditions come to Camp Korey and take a break from being a patient to be a child. While they may feel isolated, "different", or restricted elsewhere, at Camp Korey children are given the opportunity to build self-esteem, empowered to try new things- and succeed, and meet friends that can relate to similar challenges. Camp Korey is also committed to supporting families from the Northwest and beyond who have experienced the trauma of childhood illness, and who need respite, sibling engagement, and parental resources. All Camp Korey programs are free to campers and families. Camp Korey Experience Camp Korey offers therapeutic recreation adapted to the individual needs of each child. Activities are designed so that campers succeed regardless of their medical condition, and benefit from both individual attention and positive team support. Camp activities include a universally-accessible ropes course (one of a handful in the country), equestrian program, climbing wall, boating and fishing, music, theater activities, campfires, swimming, arts and crafts, camp-wide festivals, pet therapy, and special guests. Campers are fully supported by a team of allied health providers and well-trained staff, and are cared for in a 1:2 ratio.
