Teamwork on the balance beam
Special Days Partners is for the brothers and sisters of children with cancer. The only program of its kind in Michigan, Special Days Partners gives these children their own week of carefree and action-packed summer camp, in the company of fellow campers who share and understand their unique experiences with cancer.

When a child has cancer, the siblings often feel left out or that they are not getting enough attention, but at the same time feel guilty for their feelings! Their sibling with cancer may have passed away, which can be very traumatic to the surviving child.

Cancer siblings have unique and often unmet emotional needs, and they thrive on spending time with others like themselves who automatically understand what they are going through.
