🏕️ About Camp Holiday Trails

Nestled in the hills on the southern edge of Charlottesville, Camp Holiday Trails offers children with chronic health conditions what few camps can – the opportunity to enjoy the experiences of summer camp in an environment that meets their individual health needs. It is one of very few camps in the country that is able to integrate and care for so many different health conditions in one setting.

🌟 Camp Activities

• Age Range: Campers between the ages of seven and seventeen attend one or two-week residential sessions.
• Capacity: Each session can accommodate up to sixty children.
• Activities: Children participate in horseback riding, athletics, swimming, ropes course, nature and science, and many more.
• Goals: The aim is to help children develop self-confidence, socialize, and become more aware of their abilities.

🤝 Support and Donations

Each year Camp Holiday Trails relies heavily on the generosity of volunteers, individual donors, health organizations, civic groups, foundations, churches, and corporations to meet their financial obligations.
