Mission Statement
Camp Holiday Trails creates a community that empowers children and teens with medical needs to thrive.
Overview
We provide summer camps and year-round programs for children age 5-17 from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region who have medical challenges. Our focus is on allowing kids to experience challenges in our safe, supportive and caring environment - our counselors are outstanding role models; all activities are adapted for each ability; our environment is rustic and we let our kids get dirty while exploring the natural environment.
Our year-round programs include family day and weekend camps and teen retreats. Our beautiful facility is also open to rentals and retreats.
