This summer, Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlanticonce again brought the energy and excitement of Camp Simcha to our community through Camp Simcha Without Borders Mid-Atlantic, a thrilling day camp experience for local children and teens impacted by serious illness and medical challenges.
With sessions for girls (June 23–26) and boys (August 19-22), Camp Simcha Without Borders Mid-Atlanticensured that local children—regardless of their medical condition or ability to travel—experienced the joy, friendship, and strength that define the Camp Simcha spirit.
“Camp Simcha Without Borders has become a highlight of the year for so many of our local families,” said Racheli Daniel, Director of Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic. “It brings light and laughter into the lives of children who desperately need it, and gives them the chance to connect, smile, and just be kids again—even in the face of illness.”
Now in its fifth year, Camp Simcha Without Borders, generously sponsored by The Ann & David Kupperman Foundation, continues to grow, serving hundreds of children. Each program is carefully tailored with exciting activities and dedicated counselors who help recreate the spirit of Camp Simcha in a local setting.
“Watching a child facing a serious medical challenge laugh, dance, and just be a kid again—that’s the power of Camp Simcha,” said Eli Braun, Director of Camp Simcha Without Borders. “This program allows us to meet children where they are—literally—and remind them what it means to feel friendship and summer fun.”
Camp Simcha Without Borders is a project of Chai Lifeline, the international support network for children and families facing illness and crisis. To learn more about Chai Lifeline’s year-round programs and services, or to make a donation, visit chailifeline.org.
