NHF is pleased to announce the development and completion of the NHF Camp Directory. This is a comprehensive national directory of camps for the bleeding disorders community collaboratively produced by NHF.
NHF wants this national directory to be a resource for families, chapters and HTCs for finding the best camp opportunities for young people in the bleeding disorders community and to serve as an incentive for creating more camp opportunities for all individuals and families affected by bleeding disorders.
This directory will be updated annually. If you are aware of a camp that is not listed or you have changes or additions to camps already listed, please call Sonia Roger at 1-800-424-2634 x 3724.
We would like to thank each of you who contributed to the creation of this valuable reference. You have helped to make it the important resource it is.

Additional Comments
Camp Blood Brothers and Sisters is one of the oldest and largest camping and outreach programs for children affected by hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, serving about 100 children each year.
It is designed to meet the special needs of children with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders by providing activities that are hemophilia friendly, recruiting counselors and staff who are familiar with bleeding disorders (many have bleeding disorders themselves), and providing an extraordinary medical team, on duty 24 hours a day, who are specially trained to provide hemophilia care. More importantly, our camp is a safe haven. It provides campers with a wonderful opportunity to have a fun, memorable experience with other children with similar conditions, learn more about and talk to others affected by hemophilia and hopefully gain more self-awareness as a result. Summer camps offer a focused leadership program for junior staff and a workshop for young women with bleeding disorders.

Comments
Camp Independence is specifically tailored to the needs of children with inherited bleeding disorders. Here they gain valuable skills needed for living independently, while at the same time having fun in a safe, medically supervised setting. Along with professional counselors, the camp is staffed by adults who themselves have a bleeding disorder and serve as mentors and role models for the youth. Interested youth are also given the opportunity to learn to self-infuse their clotting factor. |

Camp provides an opportunity to meet families from all over South Texas. You can gain support from others who understand; families benefit from each others’ experiences. The younger kids with a bleeding disorder get to see how older ones deal with it. Siblings get to meet other siblings and gain support. Finally, parents who are apprehensive about sending their kids to camp get to see what it would be like for them. |
