🏕️ Camp Eagle's Nest - Dolly Parton Children's Hospital
If you have a child who receives care through the Children's Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic, Camp Eagle's Nest is a gift. This is a FREE camp experience at the beautiful Montvale Springs property in Maryville - no cost at all, fully funded by the hospital and their supporters.
The camp runs for four days in July, and it's designed just for kids in that program. Your child will spend time outdoors, meet camp counselors who are nurses and clinical staff from the hospital, and just... be a kid. No doctors, no treatments, no hospital - just the outdoors, swimming, and fun.

A Note from a Mom I know how complicated scheduling can get when you've got a child with medical needs. The good news here is that this camp is run by the hospital staff who already know your child - they've got this. And it's free. That's not a typo. It's a real opportunity that I wish I'd known about sooner.
