Description
  • Camp Twin Lakes is a not-for-profit organization that offers year-round recreational, therapeutic, and educational programs for children facing serious illnesses and other physical, emotional and life challenges. With its network of partners, Camp Twin Lakes provides life-changing experiences for thousands of children each year at its state-of-the-art, fully accessible facility, located on 500 acres in Rutledge, Georgia, and at other locations throughout the state.



Notes

The children can take part in the many joys of camp-swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, campfires and sleeping under the stars-without compromising their medical care. While at Camp Twin Lakes, they gain self-esteem, self-awareness and independence by participating in recreational, therapeutic and educational programs in a supportive, nurturing, fully-accessible environment.

Like every other young boy and girl who goes to camp, here they will swim, dance, fish, canoe, play outdoor and indoor team sports, do arts and crafts, act, ride horses, and sing around a campfire. They will play. They will grow. And for this short period, a time they will remember their entire lives, they will be free to be children.

Our staff is well trained to meet the needs of our guests. A medical director is on permanent staff and we collaborate with each special camp to ensure every child's needs are attended to, whether medical or otherwise. A number of our counselors and staff are state certified to teach various physical activities such as archery, horseback riding and swimming.
