Camp Description:
Camp CoHoLo began in 1985 for a weekend with 22 campers. Our current camp program runs for 1 week in July. We are entering our 18th season with 150 campers and 60 volunteer counselors. We are an all volunteer staff year-round (fundraising, programming, etc.) We provide camp for children from ages 6-16. Our 6 to 12 year olds attend for 3 1/2 days. Our 13-16 year olds for 4 days. We are in the process of implementing a weekend program for 17-20 year olds. Our counselors must be 21 years of age. Along with our volunteer staff, we have volunteer nurses and a pediatric hematologist/oncologist on site the entire week! At this time we only provide camp for patients.
