(I also posted this on TUG as I'm just so happy about this place....)
My daughter will be attending the Hole in the Wall Camp for a week this summer:
http://www.holeinthewallgang.org/
It is a camp for kids with illnesses. Today we went to visit the camp, and I have to say that it is absolutely beautiful and amazing. (You can see pictures of the facilities at the website.) They seem to be prepared to deal with just about anything, and the kids we saw there all looked they were having tremendous fun. She was nervous as we toured the camp (they drove us around in a golf cart as they are fully equipped to deal with kids that have stamina issue) but she relaxed a bit after two clowns pulled up beside us in their own funky cart, to stop and say hello.
My daughter has never had a "real camp" experience, but thanks to this place, she will be given the opportunity to do so this summer.
If any of you are looking for a good charity, I would consider donating to this organization, which was started by Paul Newman. Thanks to donations, the camp is free for all those who attend.
She won't be there until August, and I'll let you know how it turns out.
