What We Do

Camp Casey brings healing and happiness to children with cancer, sickle cell disease, and other life-threatening illnesses in Michigan by providing cost-free, mobile horseback riding programs. Yeehaw! Our organization was founded in 2004 in memory of Casey Foote, a 12-year old horseback rider who passed away from bone and brain cancer. Since her passing, Casey’s legacy has lived on through Camp Casey’s programs and, thus, has helped spread the healing power of horses to thousands of sick children in Michigan. Camp Casey delivers happiness on horseback through four cost-free programs: Horsey House Calls, Cowboy Camp Outs, Outlaw Outings, and it's newest program, Horses in the Hallway. Its signature program, Horsey House Calls, surprise sick children with a knock on their door, a horse on their doorstep, and an afternoon of fun, camp-related activities - including horseback riding throughout their neighborhood!

Interesting Info
  • Since 2004, Camp Casey has impacted over 20,000 participants directly affected by childhood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
  • Camp Casey's "Hero Herd" is made up of privately-owned horses, which keeps our overhead costs low and allows local horse owners to get involved.
  • No horse experience is required to volunteer with Camp Casey: We offer diverse opportunities to be involved and support our mission. Yeehaw!
