Camp Safe Haven
Goal: to provide for the social well-being of children and youth from
the Washington, DC and Baltimore areas who are infected or directly affected by HIV-AIDS.
In its 8th year of service in the Washington area, this week-long summer residential camp
serves 40-45 young people between the ages of 7 and 17. Our partners in
this program are The Safe Haven Project,
Inc. and Mar-Lu Ridge Camp and
Conference Center in Jefferson, Maryland.
Campers are referred by local hospitals and clinics.
There is no fee charged to the campers. Transportation from local
hospitals is provided, as well as all needs that low-income children might have
such as sleeping bags, towels, footwear, toiletries, etc.
This program depends on the generous support of donors,
especially for in-kind items such as craft, medical and cabin supplies.
Counselors, nurses and activity leaders are all volunteers. Please contact
the LSS/NCA Camp administrative office to learn more about supporting Camp Safe
Haven.
