Camp Independence 2009
July 16-19, 2009 Campers
July 15-Volunteer and Staff training
Our summer camp program is offered to Nevada youth age 7-17
that are affected by various bleeding disorders and their siblings. Children eligible for camp must live in Nevada and be living in your household.
They must turn 7 by July 15, 2009 to attend camp.
16 & 17 will be participating in the Leaders in Training program which works with our teens to teach them the importance of mentoring the younger youth as well as volunteerism in the community.
Camp Independence is specifically tailored to the needs of children with inherited bleeding disorders where they gain valuable skills needed for living independently, while at the same time having fun in a safe, medically-supervised setting. Studies show that children with chronic disease improve their confidence and coping skills when they participate in a medically supervised summer camp. Along with professional counselors, the camp is staffed by adults who themselves have a bleeding disorder and serve as mentors and role models for the youth. Interested youth are also given the opportunity to learn to self-infuse their clotting factor medication.
The HFNV will be charging a fee of $50.00 per camper to help
cover expenses and administrative fees.
Additional information will be mailed out mid April. If you have children eligible to attend camp and have not received any information, contact the HFNV office at 702.564.4368 or email Info@hfnv.org.
