Camp Victory for Kids offers children and teens, ages 7 to 18, an opportunity to have an independent camp experience. Children participate in all camp activities, such as lake swimming, boating, archery, arts and crafts, dances, campfires, and much more in a safe environment using only therapeutic and adaptive equipment. When your child shares these experiences with their peers, they create memories which change them forever.

This camp include accommodations and all meals. A Marfan-knowledgeable nurse is onsite throughout.

Rave Reviews!

Both of my kids (the one who has Marfan and the one who doesn’t) had a blast! Hadley liked meeting other girls her age with Marfan. As a parent, it was great at night to see that she wasn't the only one who needed to take medicine - something we often try to do discretely. Becky Gunn, of Atlanta 

Of course one can make friends at any sort of camp. But, to make a friend who understands Marfan is something Bobby wouldn't get anywhere else, except perhaps at conference. – Jay Elliott, Bobby’s dad, of St. Louis

I loved doing things I don't usually get to do, like archery, and it was so fun meeting new friends with Marfan syndrome. No one even asked me why I needed a wheelchair to go long distances! – Cassie Jennings, 10, of Madison, New Jersey

It was important to have camp so that the kids could do things that they might not have had exposure to if they can't go to a traditional camp. Learning new skills and trying new activities is not only fun, but shows the kids that they may have talents or interests they didn't know about. It was also a great place for the kids to bond and talk to each other in a fun, relaxing atmosphere. The parents also got to talk and learn from each other and have those conversations that only other parents of kids with Marfan can truly understand. Alix Jennings, Cassie’s mom
