The mural was created by children who have attended the camp and placed inside the hospital, which is a close partner.

One camper, Kyle Hill, spoke about his experience at the camp during the unveiling.

"I'm a camper at Roundup River Ranch and a proud ambassador for this lovely camp for kids with serious illnesses to come and be like any other kid, which is very touching to me because I also have a disability that is hard for me to cope (with), but when I'm at camp I feel welcomed and I feel loved about it," Hill said.
