Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation

The Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation runs a slate of programs for children and families affected by childhood cancer, based at 3711 E Sunset Rd in Las Vegas (89120). Rather than a single class or camp, the organization bundles several services under one roof: Camp Cartwheel, Family Support Services, the Lounge of Life, Project A.S.S.I.S.T., Caps for Kids, a Wig Program, arts and crafts, family fun events, tutoring, and counseling.

Programming is aimed at ages 5 through 18, split into a 5 to 12 bracket and a 13 to 18 bracket, and the listing marks the organization as special needs friendly with accommodations that go well beyond typical adaptive recreation. Listed support includes cancer support, help for other life-threatening or medical conditions, emotional and behavioral support, mental health counseling, inclusive programming, adaptive recreation, and individualized support plans, which reflects the medical and emotional weight of what families here are dealing with.

Office hours run Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the organization closed on Saturday and Sunday. The price range is listed as free, consistent with a nonprofit that exists to reduce financial and emotional burden on families rather than charge for services. Operations continue year round rather than pausing for a school-year schedule.

Families who want to ask about eligibility, enrollment in Camp Cartwheel, or any of the tutoring and counseling services can call (702) 735-8434 during business hours, or visit nvccf.org for more detail on each program.

On PlayPivot this listing falls under Youth Organizations, specifically Youth Groups, though its focus is narrower and more specialized than a typical youth club: it exists specifically to support kids navigating cancer treatment and their siblings and parents. Families outside that situation are unlikely to need these services, but for those who do, the range of support listed here, from wigs to tutoring to counseling, is unusually broad for one organization.
