About the Organization
★ WHO WE ARE ★
Camp Casey's sixth annual Gold Rush Gala benefits Camp Casey, a local nonprofit organization that provides free, accessible horseback riding services to children with cancer, sickle cell disease and other life-threatening illnesses. The Gold Rush Gala and supporters like you makes Camp Casey's important work possible for 20 years!
An entirely mobile program, Camp Casey delivers happiness on horseback through four cost-free programs: Horsey House Calls, Cowboy Camp Outs, and Outlaw Outings and Lone Star Getaways. Through these programs, and with the help of supporters like you, Camp Casey has impacted the lives of more than 16,000 individuals directly facing childhood illness in our community.

★ OUR PROGRAMS ★
Horsey House Calls deliver “horse camp” to the homes of children who are often too sick to attend a traditional summer camp. With a knock on the door and horse on their doorstep, Camp Casey surprises the children of the household with an afternoon of fun, interactive camp-related activities, including horseback riding in their very own neighborhood!
Cowboy Camp Outs invite families to an all-inclusive weekend getaway at a dude ranch resort where they can enjoy hayrides, campfires, an indoor waterpark, horseback riding, and connecting with other campers.
Outlaw Outings retains relationships with previously served Camp Casey participants on a year-round basis by offering one-day recreational activities for the family to enjoy.
Thank you for keeping Camp Casey in the saddle for 20 years! We appreciate your help as we continue to spread the healing power of horses to families of children with life-threatening illnesses in Michigan. Yeehaw!
