At Colon Camp, there’s no tiptoeing around the tough stuff; it’s a place where being a survivor is celebrated unapologetically. From team challenges to art experiences to karaoke nights and more, this is the place unfiltered conversations get real, fast. Colon Camp is about building friendships while healing and equipping each other with the strength to keep fighting.
