Our organization was established in 1998 by University of Colorado medical students in order to help children with cancer and their families. As of 2011, our annual summer camps and retreats have served over 1,200 children by offering a safe and nurturing environment to allow these patients and their families the natural freedoms of childhood.
Wapiyapi is piloting several new initiatives designed to support unique niches within the pediatric oncology community. Young Adult Retreats, events for Spanish-speaking families, and a bereavement support program are all new programs this year. We hope that these opportunities will empower families to understand that they do not face their challenges alone.

Challenge Aspen
Wapiyapi is excited to give back to the Aspen community that was so generous in supporting our event and mission by joining forces with non-profit Challenge Aspen. Challenge Aspen is dedicated to impacting lives by presenting meaningful recreational, cultural and educational experiences to individuals faced with cognitive or physical challenges. The aim of Challenge Aspen is to carefully orchestrate life changing adventures, giving participants the courage to learn something new, trust their own abilities and carry that ideal forward, reaching toward goals in other areas of their lives.
