For nearly 30 years, Camp Twin Lakes has delivered fully adaptive, medically-supportive, and deeply impactful camp experiences to more than 10,000 of Georgia’s children and young adults, helping each camper grow in confidence and experience the joys of childhood.Through intentional play, we develop mindful and confident children who are prepared to triumph over challenges. By learning perseverance, resilience, and a sense of community, our campers leave transformed and capable of extraordinary things. Camp Twin Lakes provides year-round, fully-accessible camp programs that teach campers to overcome obstacles while creating shared experiences with other children who face similar challenges. After spending every other day of the year adapting to the world around them, for one week, camp adapts to them.
The magic happens at our camp sites in Rutledge, Winder, and Warm Springs, Georgia.
Our Camp-to-Go program reaches even more children and brings joy to families that call the hospital home. Camp-to-Go designs camp programs to match patients’ abilities, while also helping them reach goals set by the clinical team. This experience brings families and children on the hospital floor together so that they can connect over fun activities. If one patient makes a friend during our time together, we were successful. The experience comes complete with an “indoor campfire” and s’mores!
Camp Twin Lakes provides the chance to be part of transformative summer camp adventures for kids who might not typically be able to attend camp. Our programs intentionally focus on growing each child’s capabilities. We foster an environment of creative freedom, fun, and discovery that teach our campers to overcome misconceptions about what they think they are capable of accomplishing and they return home with a new sense of confidence and independence.
Our sites were designed to serve children with special medical needs, so procedures like chemotherapy, dialysis, or daily medications can be administered on-site while they enjoy the magic of camp. We collaborate with each Camp Partner to make sure every child’s needs are attended to. Doctors and nurses who specialize in the various diagnoses manage our medical lodges and are on-site 24 hours a day, so our campers are in expert hands.
