Camp Victory was planned and built for these children. Here, “ partner groups,” each targeting a specific health concern, conduct a diversity of camps, providing both loving support and professional care for children suffering from a wide range of frequently complex health problems. These include allergies, autism, cancer, heart disease, spina bifida and many others.  For a full listing of camps currently operating see Camp Schedule.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Yes, the kids are special, and, we are proud to say, the camp is special. We planned it that way because we knew that the children who would come here would have many, and diverse, special needs.

Children who must live with chronic health problems, physical or mental disabilities, or the aftermath of catastrophic illness, know lifelong challenges. Their lives are controlled and restricted by the daily medications and frequently complex medical treatments they need. The lives of family members are also affected.

Sometimes a child comes in fear, but a sense of belonging is almost instantaneous. In the relaxed atmosphere of a summer camp where fellow campers all must cope with similar health challenges, the children quickly discover a unique kinship that quickly dispels their feeling of being set apart. They support each other, giving each other courage and a true sense of self-worth. They experience a joy of living that might otherwise pass them by.
