Our Mission
Empowering Children with Brain Injury
Our Purpose
Camp Cranium is a nonprofit dedicated to providing a one-of-a-kind experience for children ages 6-18 who have been diagnosed with an acquired brain injury/traumatic brain injury.
Executive Director Message
This has been a truly memorable year, with summer camp once again “live” and in person after two years of virtual camp during the pandemic. We were so grateful to be able to see our kids again and experience the wonders of summer camp with all of our senses!
In addition, we are excited to announce some changes to our organization, including new leadership roles and some new members on our board of directors. We are restructuring to provide more resources and programming for our families and children living with brain injury. These changes are integral to our vision of providing a sustainable future for Camp Cranium and our community.
Further, we are working to update our website and create new referral links to help us market our programs and increase our impact.
We want to ensure Camp Cranium is here to support kids and families long into the future, and we believe it will be—thanks to the support of our incredible community of people like you.

✨ COUNSELOR SPOTLIGHT ✨
Scott Gay is a fellow in Critical Care Medicine who served as a counselor his first year of med school and returned nearly every year since! Dr. Scott is now returning as one of our Camp Physicians and currently serving as Vice President of the Camp Cranium Board of Directors!
“Coming to camp, I knew I would be able to be of help to the campers. Leaving camp, I had no idea the help the campers would be to me. I see inspiration in every smile, courage in every struggle, and hope in each and every camper that comes.
This camp is the one week every year that gets me through the remainder of the 51. It changed my life more than any experience to date and I never plan on stopping! Camp has carried me through medical school, through my emergency medicine residency, and currently in my fellowship in critical care medicine. I love camp deep down, oh deep down down...deep down in my heart”

Abigail Graham is a freshman at Thomas Jefferson University who originally planned to attend camp as a camper but her plans were deterred by COVID-19. Abigail is now returning for her second year as a counselor!
“The brain injuries did not stop the campers from doing anything. I saw them zipline, fish, swim, and many more camp activities. It inspired me because I have a brain injury too. Everyone was so happy and supportive. I do not think I will meet a more supportive camp that challenges me to make the best out of my injury.”
