Camp Cartwheel

Camp Cartwheel is a free summer camp for kids ages 5 to 17, run out of 3711 E Sunset Rd in Las Vegas through the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. The camp is built around medical support: it lists 24/7 medical staff on site, fully accessible facilities, and specialized care, which points to a camp designed for kids managing serious health needs alongside typical camp activities.

Running through the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, the camp is likely aimed at kids connected to that organization's services, so a family that has not already worked with the foundation may want to ask directly whether their child qualifies for a session.

Activities include horseback riding, swimming, archery, fishing, arts and crafts, climbing walls, talent shows, and campfires, a fairly full traditional camp lineup rather than a scaled back version built around medical limitations.

The camp runs summer only rather than year round, and no weekly hours are listed here since it operates on a camp session schedule rather than a daily drop in basis. Families should call to find out current session dates and how to apply.

There is no cost listed for Camp Cartwheel, it is marked Free, which fits with its accommodations covering medical support and critical illness support alongside accessible facilities. This combination suggests the camp is likely built for kids affected by childhood cancer or similar conditions and their families, though specific eligibility criteria are not listed in this record, so that is a direct question for the camp organizers.

The age range covers 5 to 17 as a single bracket rather than being split by younger and older kids, which may reflect how the camp groups campers by need rather than strict age bands.
