About The Center for Courageous Kids

 

The Center for Courageous Kids is a 20 million dollar state of the art Medical Camping Facility where children battling the most serious illnesses can attend, free of charge. Our campus sets on 168 acres in the rolling hills of Scottsville, KY and encompasses an onsite medical center with helipad, indoor aquatic complex, equestrian riding arena, bowling alley, gymnasium, climbing wall, boating and fishing, theater, four camper lodges, and SO much more!

We have a program and medical staff who are trained and experienced in all aspects of medical camping.To date, we have served over 13,500 children from 39 states, Canada and three foreign countries. Operating year-round, we offer two distinct programs at CCK. Weekend retreats for the ill child with their immediate family members, and summer camping sessions for the ill child only. It is a fabulous opportunity for children who are battling an illness or handicap to come out of the shadows of their everyday lives and step into the spotlight with other children coping with the same challenges. There are no limits at The Center for Courageous Kids. We have a "YOU CAN DO IT" attitude. Children who attend CCK leave with memories of their first horse back ride, favorite campfire song, catching the BIG fish or taking center stage and starring in their own show. All of the memories, smiles and laughs would not be possible if it weren't for our generous donors. Operating solely on donations, we rely heavily on their support. Every donation, large or small, goes to helping one more deserving child experience CCK!
