 Summer Camp with a special purpose!
Although JSDN does not have its own camp program, we've found that camps run by the Camp Discovery, the Arthritis Foundation, Hole in the Wall Camps and many other worthwhile non-profit organizations provide wonderful experiences for children with chronic diseases.
You can find the camp nearest you by going to:
Camp Discovery www.campdiscovery.org
Arthritis Foundation www.arthritis.org
Hole in the Wall Camps www.holeinthewallcamps.org
Camp Wonder
www.csdf.org
You may also find local camps run by hospitals, patient groups or other agencies.
Camp may be the only time during the year that lets them forget about doctor appointments and blood tests. They get a chance to meet other kids with similar experiences who they can talk openly about their fears. This is their time for growth and independence, supported by dedicated people.
Grab your child, find a camp, and stock up on
sunscreen! We can’t wait to hear about your child's experience
at camp this summer!
