Association of Hole in the Wall Camps

The Hole in the Wall Camps are the world’s largest family of camps for children with serious illnesses and life-threatening conditions. Since Paul Newman founded the first camp in 1988, the Hole in the Wall Camps have served more than 120,000 children from over 30 countries – free of charge. With support from Jewelers for Children, more children can experience the powerful influence of Camp, where they can forget they are patients and have fun just being kids.

At the Hole in the Wall Camps, highly trained medical professionals, skilled staff, and committed volunteers create a safe, supportive community that embraces children with the healing power of laughter, challenges them to achieve success they never dreamed possible, and enables them to share in the simple joys of childhood. In the process, campers develop courage and resiliency to face their illness, a sense of accomplishment, and a feeling of control over their lives.
