Champions Kids Camp is a non-profit organization that was created to provide a positive camp experience for children ages 8-12, who have survived a traumatic event in their lives.

Champions Kids Camp was founded in 2001 by Bill and Kim Nash and co-founders Jerry and Natalie Lewis. The first camp was held in July of 2002.

The Inspiration -Billy Nash

Billy Nash: Age 3

The Nashes' oldest son, Billy who was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of two, is now 26 years old and a survivor.  He is now pursuing his dream of being a professional golfer working at an exclusive country club in Houston, TX.
As a result of this experience, Bill and Kim Nash realized that children may heal from a disease or injury but are still left with emotional scars. After further research they found that there were no programs or camps to address the emotional needs of these children. Thus, Champions Kids Camp was born.

In Bill Nash's own words, "These kids tend to get over-looked and fall through the cracks. Those are the ones we want to reach."
