CHAMP Camp

CHAMP Camp offers a unique summer experience for children and adolescents with tracheostomies or those requiring technological respiratory assistance. Campers fully participate in outdoor activities like zip lining, swimming, canoeing, and climbing, fostering independence, confidence, and self-esteem while creating lasting memories. Our programs are designed to provide rich recreational experiences in a supportive environment where kids can thrive. While we maintain a high counselor-to-camper ratio, our approach emphasizes empowerment rather than hovering. We encourage campers to explore their physical and medical limits in a safe, inclusive setting where no one is left out or made to feel different. Campers rotate through a wide variety of engaging activities with their trail groups each year, including creative arts, swimming, climbing, archery, canoeing, fishing, and pontooning. These activities are facilitated by caring, skillful adults who not only ensure fun but also monitor and respond to medical needs, ensuring every child’s safety and well-being.
