About
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Camps and Teen Leadership Programs offers activities such as tent building, arts and crafts, goal bracelets, solar s’more ovens, archery, tie-dye, and goal setting. The program also includes virtual workshops like Stress Less! – a stress management workshop, Let’s Get to Work! – a workshop on how to get and keep a job, and a Life After Highschool Panel where young adults share their perspectives on the transition to adulthood. Holiday Baking and Kitchen Basics is also part of the program’s activity options.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
• Schedule: Teen Leadership Academy runs during the academic year from August to April, and diagnosis-specific camps run as 6-day, 5-night sleepaway sessions or 3-day, 2-night weekend sessions.
• Price: The generosity and support of donors allows campers to attend at little to no cost to their family.
Camps are specially designed and staffed so that kids with medical or physical conditions can take part in camp and be part of a community of children who share similar experiences. Diagnosis-specific 3-day, 2-night weekend camps pack camp activities into a shorter stay, and family camp weekends are planned for siblings, parents, and caregivers together. A Teen Retreat weekend for transplant recipients and teens with cardiac conditions includes education sessions focused on helping teens transition to adulthood. Camp on the Move brings camp-themed, therapeutic activities to patients and siblings in hospitals and clinics across the Children’s system. Teen Leadership Academy, which is open to patients ages 15 to 20, combines monthly virtual workshops and in-person events to focus on leadership, independence, self-care, and community building. The program’s mission statement is that every child deserves to experience summer camp. Camp programs are hosted in collaboration with Camp Twin Lakes, a network of camps that runs programs for Georgia’s children with serious illnesses, disabilities, and other life challenges, and corporations, foundations, and community partners support the camps through multi-year donations.
