The Cavett Kids Foundation, formerly known as Camp Cavett, is based out of OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.  Our mission is to provide camps, events and programs for children with life-threatening and chronic illnesses while promoting character, coping skills and connection.  Everything offered to the patients and families is completely free of charge!  We invite you to learn more about our organization, the amazing patients and families we help and ways you can help us make a difference.

Our new program, Diversionary Play, is in need of more volunteers!  The program provides arts and crafts activities for patients while they wait to see the doctors in the OU Children's physicians clinics,  Patients are normally scared and worried about seeing the doctor.  However, when they participate in our activities, they are more relaxed, happier and more compliant with the doctor's orders.  Volunteer hours are available Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Click here for more information about how you can make a difference!
