ABOUT CAMP TWIN LAKES:
Camp Twin Lakes provides adaptive and deeply impactful camp experiences to children and families living with serious illnesses, disabilities, and life challenges, year-round.
Our intentionally-designed programs help campers overcome obstacles as they learn new skills to more independently manage their challenges. As they make memories with their peers, the isolation they often feel vanishes in the comfort of new friendships forged by the strongest bonds - the challenges they have in common.
Each summer, Camp Twin Lakes serves thousands of children and teens from across the country during weeklong overnight camping programs. Each week, Camp serves a different unique diagnosis or life challenge at our three medically-supported campuses located in Winder and Rutledge, GA.
