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.
Each Spring and Fall, Double H Ranch invites medically qualifying campers, their families, and local community groups to enjoy camp during a variety of weekend programs. Spring and Fall Weekends are an opportunity for families to have fun, meet new friends, and find support together. All housing and meals are provided during programs.
From January through March, Double H Ranch offers medically qualifying campers and their families the opportunity to participate in winter sports in the Adirondacks free of charge. Activities include 1:1 lessons in alpine skiing and snowboarding with trained adaptive instructors and National Ski Patrol. Lessons take place on our hill at camp and all necessary equipment is provided.
From June through August, hundreds of kids living with serious illnesses will have the chance to experience summer camp in a unique way – purposefully designed, fully adapted, and medically safe.
The goal of Double H Ranch’s Outreach Program is to provide children and families living with serious illnesses opportunities for connection, support, and fun by bringing the magic of camp into the community. Outreach hospital visits and community events are designed to meet participants wherever they are.
Through storytelling from different perspectives, Camp Legends hopes to shine a light on the power of camp and help us stay connected to the Double H community in a way that is easily accessible for all.
