Summer Camp

One of the major initiatives included in our current strategic plan is the development of a new summer camp program for children with hemophilia.  We hope to have this in place by 2011 or 2012.

In the meantime, the Central Ohio Chapter tries to ensure that any kid who wants to attend a hemophilia-related summer camp has the opportunity to do so.  So if a family cannot afford to pay for their child to attend one of these camps, we will cover the cost to attend.

The most popular camps our children attend are Camp Bold Eagle and the other camps put on by the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan.  We can also send children to Camp HemoVon in Morgantown, WV or Camp NJOYITALL near Cincinnati, OH.  Please contact the office if you’re interested in attending any of these camps.

There is also a camp called Flying Horse Farms currently being built just north of Columbus in Mt. Gilead, OH that caters to children with different disease types.  One of the types they cater to are kids with hemophilia.  So once the camp is up and running, this will be a new option for Columbus-area kids with bleeding disorders.
