About Camp Holiday Trails:

A Camp for Children and Teens with Medical Needs

Since 1974, Camp Holiday Trails (CHT) has been a place of empowerment, growth, and joy for children and teens with medical needs across the Mid-Atlantic. Located in Charlottesville, VA, our camp welcomes kids with qualifying diagnoses ages 6-17, along with their siblings, to experience life-changing moments in an inclusive, supportive environment.

We offer diagnosis-specific sessions, mixed-diagnosis sessions, overnight and day camp options, and year-round programming to meet the unique needs of our campers and families. Whether conquering our challenge course, adding milestones to the “Book of Firsts,” or making wishes during the Wishboat Ceremony, campers grow, thrive, and create lasting memories.

Our mission is to provide transformative experiences that help campers manage their diagnoses, build friendships, and grow as individuals. Traditional camp activities and skill-building are woven into every moment. Our horseback riding program, for instance, uses adaptive equipment when needed to ensure all campers can participate in this beloved activity.

To prioritize health and safety, we provide 24/7 medical care during Camp with dedicated staff ready to support every camper's unique needs.

As a nonprofit, we are committed to accessibility. The true cost of a transformative week at Camp is $2,000 per camper, but thanks to generous donors, we’re proud to offer a nonrefundable camper fee of just $100. This ensures every eligible family can benefit from this incredible experience.
