Courageous Campers, a therapeutic summer camp, is presented in partnership by OCD Louisiana and Rise Center for OCD and Anxiety. It is made possible through sponsorship by local businesses, including Dufrene Surveying and Engineering, and donors like you.
Thanks to generous grants and donor support, tuition was just $350 last year—a fraction of the thousands similar camps charge nationwide. With continued support, the current tuition will remain at the affordable price of $350, but we dream that with enough support we could offer it for free.
Every donation, large and small, helps our kids bravely face anxiety and OCD.
If your company is interested in supporting Courageous Campers, please send us an email at info@ocdlouisiana.org.
With a donation of $3,000, you can provide one camper with a life-changing opportunity to attend our anxiety recovery camp. Your generosity will cover expert-led therapy, a supportive community experience, and tools to help them reclaim their life from anxiety.
Our one-week camp is designed exclusively for children navigating anxiety and OCD challenges. Our unique program seamlessly blends summer camp fun with evidence-based interventions, allowing campers to conquer fears and break free from the cycle of anxiety. Watch as your child not only embraces new friendships with peers who understand and share similar experiences but also gains valuable tools to conquer anxiety and OCD.
This summer, empower their journey by becoming Courageous Campers.
