To make the selection process easier than ever for parents of children with special health needs, the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) is proud to announce its online list of summer camps for children with special needs. The camps are sponsored by or affiliated with children’s hospitals throughout the United States and British Columbia.

The day and overnight summer camps are havens for children with a wide range of special health needs, such as asthma, diabetes, cancer, burns, transplants, brain injuries, amputations, sickle cell anemia, epilepsy and more.

One of the most extensive of its kind, the list of more than 120 summer camps is organized by state, and can be accessed with the following link:

“All children should have an opportunity to experience a summer camp,” says Lawrence A. McAndrews, president and CEO of NACHRI. “These camps offer a place where kids can just be kids.”
