The Double H Ranch, co-founded by Charles R. Wood and Paul Newman, provides specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses. All programs are FREE of charge and capture the magic of the Adirondacks.
Double H Ranch is currently providing specialized programs and medical services for over 2,100 children and family members through our year-round programs.
From June through August, hundreds of kids living with serious illnesses will have the chance to experience camp in a unique way – purposefully designed, fully adapted, and medically safe. We are thrilled to be welcoming campers, seasonal staff, and volunteers back onsite for a residential 2023 Summer Camp Program.
