“Awesome! I loved my one-on-one counselor and especially loved swimming, campfire songs and horseback riding.”

“Great environment for kids to learn and share their feelings and just be normal for one weekend.”

“This weekend my 4 year old practiced starting an intravenous access & it was extremely helpful to have another hemophiliac boy hold his hand when we were trying. This is an experience that cannot be duplicated.”

“When I first experienced camp, I never wanted to let go of the feeling of belonging and I know that all the other kids feel the same way.”

“It is a paradise for the not-so-normal kid, where they can feel like they fit in with everyone else.”

“Thank you for helping me reach my goals and not letting my disease defeat me!”

TTFF's Camp Arroyo is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where kids with special needs are free to just be kids. There's

• No conforming
• No hiding
• No being singled out as “different”

Camp Arroyo provides a safe, nurturing environment, filled with positive energy and support. It’s a place where kids are surrounded by children with similar conditions, and where individuality is not taboo, but celebrated.

At Camp Arroyo, the children are able to talk about their feelings in a compassionate, nurturing atmosphere, and are made to feel at ease — finally!— to just be themselves.
