2005 Slide Show

The philosophy of our summer camp program is to empower campers to be healthy and active youngsters “just like any other kids,” while learning to manage their bleeding disorder. Summer camp is designed to help children improve knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral skills that will result in a healthy, risk-reduced lifestyle.

Our residential summer camp program is held at Cedar Ridge Camp (ACA accredited) in Louisville, Kentucky. The facility is located on 64 wooded acres and includes a 2-acre fishing lake, hiking trails, swimming pool, creek beds with fossils, low and high ropes courses, picnic pavilion, outdoor stage, and a large dining hall/meeting space. Campers are housed in air conditioned lodges. Both the dining hall/meeting space and the lodges are handicapped accessible. Recreational and educational activities include swimming, canoeing, fishing, water balloon volleyball, arts and crafts, archery, orienteering, team building activities, and team challenge courses as well as hemophilia wellness and self-infusion classes. Special treats are the evening community camp fire activities, a family cookout at the beginning of camp, and the awards ceremony at the conclusion of camp.
An on-site infirmary is operated by experienced hemophilia treatment center medical professionals.

Camp dates are July 9, 2005 – July 13, 2006.
