WHO WE ARE:
The Double H Ranch, located in New York’s Adirondack Park (Lake Luzerne, NY), is a demonstration of the commitment and generosity of philanthropist Charles R. Wood and actor Paul Newman. Since the Double H officially opened its doors on July 4, 1993, it has served over 60,000 children dealing with life-threatening illnesses from around the world. It was the second “Hole in the Wall Camp” in what has become a worldwide network of not-for-profit recreational and therapeutic experiences for children with serious illness.
OUR MISSION:
The mission of the Double H Ranch is to provide specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses. Our purpose is to enrich their lives and provide camp experiences that are memorable, exciting, fun, empowering, physically safe and medically sound. All programs are FREE of charge and capture the magic of the Adirondacks.
WHO WE SERVE:
Many children are precluded from attending summer camp due to the seriousness of their illness. Double H Ranch is able to provide a safe experience for each child because doctors and nurses are on site 24 hours a day, a staffed and equipped medical facility and a close relationship with Albany Medical Center. Children with the following diagnoses fill our camp with joy and laughter each year:
- Cancer
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- Hemophilia/Bleeding Disorders
- HIV/Immune Disorders
- Collagen Vascular Disease
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Neuromuscular Disorders
- Mitochondrial Disorders
