Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Camps, Diseases of Specific Organs, Health, Patient & Family Support, Sports

Mission: Camp Holiday Trails empowers, encourages and educates children with chronic illnesses, their families and healthcare professionals by providing a summer camp and year-round programming aimed at personal growth. Since 1973, our residential camp offers children the chance to ride horses, swim, canoe, and engage in other fun outdoor camp activities in a safe environment where their special health needs are met. Children have diverse diagnoses including arthritis, asthma, cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, hemophilia, immune disorders - including HIV/AIDS, kidney disease, organ transplants, spina bifida and sickle cell anemia. Camp Holiday Trails is a place where children who live with limitations learn to stretch themselves, where children whose lives depend on doctors and medical treatments explore their independence, and where children who may feel burdened by illness can share their concerns with others who really understand. Although their illnesses keep them from participating in other kinds of camps, at Camp Holiday Trails, one would be hard pressed to distinguish them from any other children ? Camp Holiday Trails celebrates the Camper and not the illness.
