| What is Wonder Camp? |
|
Wonder Camp is a special summer camp for children with skin disease. CSDF sponsors the only medically staffed camps in the western United
States, the Carolinas and Virginia for children with severe chronic
and/or fatal skin diseases. CSDF's camps are free to all campers--an
important benefit to the families of skin disease children who often
struggle with large medical bills. The camps occur in late June and
early July in three locations: Camp Wonder at Camp Arroyo in Livermore, California (33 miles south east of Oakland Airport) through a grant from the Taylor Family Foundation. Camp Wonder at The Painted Turtle, a camp in Lake Hughes, California (60 minutes north of Los Angeles) through a grant from The Painted Turtle,
a Hole in the Wall Camp co-founded by Paul Newman. The Painted Turtle
is for children with skin disease who receive treatment in Southern
California. Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, North Carolina (20 miles south of Greensboro) through a grant from Victory Junction Gang , a Hole in the Wall Camp co-founded by Paul Newman. Victory Junction Gang is for children with skin disease who live in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
