The Home of Miracles Camp Fund is designed to send our sponsored children to enjoyed a camp liked experience with other children such as themselves. A way to get their minds off of their day to day routines and their constant reminders of their status.

Your involvement and contributions will ensure that our camp will not only be filled will a lifetime of memories, but the development of new friendships, everlasting bounds, and hope for all other children infected with HIV in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles.

From climbing the 40-foot climbing wall and nighttime chats in bunk-beds, to trips to “HOME Meds” infirmary and HIV/AIDS discussion groups, the camp program combines the carefree adventure of typical summer camps with the medical and emotional support vital to children/youths impacted by HIV. The camp schedule features days packed with fun and exciting programming.

Camp days end with exciting all-camp activities such as campfires, dances and scavenger hunts. Nights in the cabins are often filled with voices and laughter, discussing topics ranging from funniest memory of the day to personal hopes and fears.

Special Opportunities for Support and Community Building

While our camping program offers kids an experience of normalcy and fun, The Home of Miracles & Embraces also offer campers the option to speak about HIV with other kids or staff. Throughout the sessions, campers are able to sign up for discussion groups to talk with their peers about HIV related issues, and to ask questions of nurses, social workers, psychologists and other professionally trained staff. Campers enjoy walking along the Yellow Brick Road towards Ozzy’s Journey, a wooded trail featuring artwork and poetry created by campers about life with HIV. Many campers find that discussing HIV at camp gives them a feeling of relief and liberation, helping them cope better throughout the year.
