Get Involved
We are always looking for camp volunteers, especially those with expertise in nursing, massage therapy, and art (and if you just want to come and drive a golf cart or pitch in wherever you can, that's great too!). We'd love to hear from you at miltonmarksfamilycamp@gmail.com -- tell us how you heard about us, and what your interest is in camp!
Supporting Milton Marks Family Camp
Since its inception in 2014, the Milton Marks Neuro-Oncology Family Camp has hosted, without charge, patients with brain cancer, and their families. The Milton Marks Family Camp was created by and continues to operate entirely from charitable donations and with volunteer staff.
Support from The UCSF Neuro-Oncology Gordon Murray Caregiver Program team has been instrumental in making the Milton Marks Family Camp a reality. Additionally, the program provides a portion of the ongoing financial support to ensure the camp's sustainability.
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our individual, foundation, and corporate donors, and our many volunteers. Thank you for joining our efforts to provide this experience to UCSF Neuro-Oncology patients and their families.
An additional big THANK YOU to our corporate sponsors:
Orbus Therapeutics and Novocure.

Volunteer Your Time
Volunteers are critical to provide the Milton Marks Family Camp to patient families free of charge, and this past year our volunteer staff included more than fifty-five people. We are always seeking volunteers with an interest in helping out at the camp and being part of this exciting and rewarding community for a weekend.
If you have particular experience working with adults with cognitive or brain-based impairments, we encourage you to apply for a volunteer position for our next camp, or if you simply have an interest in art, community activities, and love camp, we'd love to hear about you.
For any questions, to get more information about professional positions or job descriptions, to let us know of your interest in applying, or to receive an application, please contact miltonmarksfamilycamp@gmail.com.
“Both my mom and mother-in-law were diagnosed with brain cancer, within just a few years of each other. Access to a community like the Milton Marks Family Camp would have been really helpful to them, and us, their caregiving family members, during their illnesses. Now as a camp volunteer, I hope that I can help ease the experience for these families. ”
