Founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp provides “a different kind of healing” to more than 25,000 seriously ill children and family members annually – all completely free of charge. For many of these children and families, Hole in the Wall provides multiple Camp experiences throughout the year at the facility in Ashford, Conn., in 40 hospitals and clinics, directly in camper homes and communities, and through other outreach activities across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
For more than 30 years, Camp Twin Lakes has provided life-changing camp experiences to thousands of Georgia's children and adults with mental and physical illnesses, disabilities, and other life challenges. Camp Twin Lakes provides week-long summer camps and year-round weekend retreats at our three fully-accessible and medically-supportive campuses.

Founded in 1885, Frost Valley YMCA is the nation’s oldest YMCA camp and a nearly 6,000 acre residential camping, environmental education, and conference center located in the “forever wild” Catskill Mountain Preserve, just two hours from New York City.
We are a destination for community, nature, art, and recreation, offering year-round programs that inspire growth, connection, creativity, and resilience for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. As leaders in camping and outdoor education, Frost Valley provides meaningful, screen-free experiences that help people connect to themselves, to others, and to the natural world.
As a charitable organization, we raise funds to provide camperships and financial assistance, ensuring access to transformative outdoor experiences for children and families regardless of race, identity, or socioeconomic background. Guided by our “For All” mission, we strive to be a place where all people belong and are respected.
