Camp Crossroads is a unique, therapeutic weekend camp designed for children who have been impacted by a parent or loved one’s substance use. In a safe, supportive, and engaging environment, campers learn that addiction is a disease, that it affects the whole family, and – most importantly – that it is not their fault.

Guided by trained mentors and clinical staff, Camp Crossroads helps children build confidence, develop coping skills, and reduce feelings of fear, guilt, isolation, and helplessness. Campers also connect with peers who share similar experiences, helping them feel less alone and more understood.
