Summer Camps

We offer year-round Camps for children and teens with medical needs and their siblings. Campers are provided the opportunity to grow in independence, challenge themselves, build relationships and have fun with other kids like themselves.

Family Camps

Are you looking for a way to unplug and create memories with your family, get outdoors, or maybe build community with other caregivers who are also navigating caring for a child with a medical diagnosis? Family Camps may just be what you need!

As a camper I watched alumni grow into counselors and role models — inspiring those of us who followed to become leaders and advocates. After two wonderful summers as a CHT counselor and volunteering through the year, I see how much Camp matters to everyone involved.

Matthew

As someone who’s worked at CHT and now supports youth with T1D, I’ve seen firsthand that representation and support at Camp truly change lives.

Elle

My favorite part of Camp is the community — spending time outside, playing, creating, and forming an inclusive, fun group. I love seeing campers grow each year, and working with the Med Team reminds me how much camp life matters for those with medical needs.

All ages and abilities are warmly welcomed for a day of volunteering, no matter the time of year!
