Programs for Caregivers
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone
When caring for a child with a chronic health condition, there will be tough moments.
But those moments become easier when you’re part of a community who understands what you’re going through – and can offer tools, knowledge, and a shoulder to lean on when you need it the most.
Join us at an upcoming event and discover not just a community, but a second family – where every laugh, lesson, and shared experience will make you a stronger, more resilient caregiver.

Physical & emotional safety is our #1 priority
While a lot of what we do is fun and games, we also take participant safety very seriously.
Participants are always encouraged to take risks that feel comfortable for them, whether that’s playing a silly game, meeting a new friend, or tackling an element on a challenge course.
We also surround participants with experienced staff members who understand each condition and are always working to learn more—so they can offer thoughtful support and make modifications as needed.
Serving patients with chronic health conditions for over 20 years
For more than two decades, GutMonkey has served patients, aged 7 to 70, in all 50 states and across the diagnostic spectrum of bleeding disorders and other chronic medical conditions.
With our partnerships, GutMonkey has reached more than 30,000 patients, providers, and caregivers—through bold, transformative experiences that turn tough days into joyful ones and isolation into connection.
