In the quiet town of Fairfield, Idaho, a remarkable transformation is underway. From August 6-8, CBH Homes, Idaho's largest home builder, will join forces with Camp Rainbow Gold (CRG) to construct six ADA-compliant cabins in just three days. This ambitious project, known as Project Gold, is set to redefine what community support means for children and families facing medical challenges.
Camp Rainbow Gold’s journey began 41 years ago, sparked by a young boy’s dream to attend summer camp despite his cancer diagnosis. Today, CRG serves over 400 Idaho children and their families, providing them with a place to connect, heal, and thrive. Yet, the need for accessible facilities has never been greater, with many families being turned away each year due to space limitations.
"CBH has been supporting Camp Rainbow Gold for 20 years, and when the call came in, we had to say yes," shares Ronda Conger, Vice President of CBH Homes. The cabins will be part of Hidden Paradise, Idaho’s first medical camp, nestled on 172 acres of serene landscape. This new haven promises an inclusive environment for campers of all abilities, including those with cancer, muscular dystrophy, and other disabilities.
Elizabeth Lizberg, CEO of Camp Rainbow Gold, expresses deep gratitude: "This partnership is a game-changer. With these new cabins, no child will be turned away." Hidden Paradise will feature nearly 20 remodeled buildings, a medical center, and an outdoor amphitheater, all designed to cater to the diverse needs of its campers.
As Fairfield gears up for this monumental build, CBH Homes calls on volunteers and tradespeople to join their effort. For more information on how to get involved, visit cbhhomes.com/project-gold.
