Giving Illness A Time Out

A Kid Again looks forward to the day that every child with a life-threatening illness in America can be A Kid Again. We include the whole family in every adventure we host year round. Our families say adventures are something positive to look forward to and offer a distraction from routine medical care. Whether a child is battling an all too common disease like cancer, or a rare disease like Hunter Syndrome, they ALL deserve to be a kid again.

Help Us Fuel Adventure

Your generosity will help thousands of kids living with a life-threatening illness receive the gift of hope, happiness, and healing in the time they need it most. Please donate today and  help us fuel adventure. You can have an impact on kids and families who truly need it.

We couldn’t do it without volunteers

Think back to your own childhood. The carefree days and sheer enjoyment of being a child. Please help even the most ill children among us feel like A Kid Again by giving generously of your time and talent.

Our Adventures

What is an adventure? A chance to be a kid again; time away from the hospital; an opportunity to forget about being sick; a group experience to a local destination with tickets, food, parking, mementos, and memories to last until the next adventure

A Kid Again is specifically designed to involve the entire family (not just the child who is ill) to improve the well being of everyone affected by the situation. This approach helps protect and strengthen the children’s primary support network and personal resolve during the most difficult period of their lives.
