JA Camp: Camp M.A.S.H. (Rosholt, WI)

Camp M.A.S.H. stands for Make Arthritis Stop Hurting. We are one of the longest running consecutive camps in the country. Camp M.A.S.H. was founded in 1989 with just six campers. Our largest year held 100 campers! One thing that makes us special is that 90% of our volunteers are former campers who want to give back to camp. They want to give our campers the same experience — or an even better one — than they had. Our campers can ask their counselors and program staff about their diagnoses or medications to help get an understanding from someone who is just like them.

Each year at our closing campfire, we end the fire by singing our camp song, “Lean On Me” by Club Nouveau. It's a powerful thing to watch campers who are nervous their first year at camp embrace it and hug their friends during that song. Lifelong friendships and memories are made every summer at Camp M.A.S.H.

Activities for Campers include Arts & Crafts, games, Lyfe $killz (medical programming), campfires, swimming, photography, camp under the stars for ages 15 and older, outdoor movie night for ages 8 to 14.
