The Goodtimes Project
Share
Creating a community for families affected by childhood cancer to experience hope, love, and joy veteran.
INCEPTION:
The Goodtimes Project was formed in late 2013 to carry on the 30-year legacy of Camp Goodtimes, and to ensure no-cost programming remained available to local families dealing with the financial and emotional costs of childhood cancer. With years of volunteerism in our back pockets and a can-do attitude, we build a non-profit from the ground up and didn't skip a beat in successfully operating our first independent camp sessions in 2014. MISSION:
When cancer becomes your world, The Goodtimes Project creates caring spaces for local families to connect and kids to be kids, through camps, events, and programs. We serve families throughout Western Washington and Alaska with a goal of providing cost-free programing to help them reconnect with a world beyond their diagnosis. INCLUSIVITY:
Cancer doesn’t discriminate, it affects people from every walk of life. With this in mind The Goodtimes Project welcomes all children and families affected by childhood cancer and volunteers to be a part of our programs — regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender-identity, disability, sexual orientation or status as a U.S. Our community of Western Washington and Alaska is a diverse one and we strive to reflect that in all that we do. Currently, our signature program is to offer families affected by childhood cancer a week of summer camp at no cost. We continually strive to create camp as a space which:
-Affirms the joys of childhood often missed by those in treatment
-Fosters friendships between children and families who share common experiences
-Instills confidence through a variety of programs and activities
-Cares for their social safety as well as their medical safety
-Strives to send the children back into the world as more independent, caring, and capable youth
-Offers parents peace of mind as they entrust their children to camp, and take a well-deserved break

Some moments stay with us.
A new friendship. A belly laugh. Trying something for the very first time. Finding a place where you don't have to explain what your family has been through.
At The Goodtimes Project, these moments become memories, friendships, and connections that can last long after a program ends.
That's the kind of legacy we think is worth carrying forward.
More hope. More love. More joy. More Goodtimes.

What does it mean to leave a legacy?
At Goodtimes, we think it can be found in the moments that stay with us. The friendships formed. The laughter shared. The feeling of finding a place where you belong.
Since 2013, The Goodtimes Project has created caring spaces for families impacted by childhood cancer to connect and for kids to simply be kids.
A legacy is about helping those moments continue, today and for generations to come.
More hope. More love. More joy. More Goodtimes.

A Little Goodtimes Gold 💫
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are celebrating the golden moments that define Goodtimes.
One program participant shared:
“Camp was one of the first times I got to meet so many people close to my age that could relate and understand what I’ve been through, and that is such a beautiful thing to experience.”
Whether at camp, in a kayak, or at the racetrack, The Goodtimes Project creates space for moments of joy, connection, and belonging.
