The goal of Camp On-The-Go, Double H Ranch’s Hospital Outreach Program, is to improve the quality of life for children and families in the hospital or medical-based setting by bringing the magic of camp to them! Regular visits are scheduled that will transport a child to a true camp experience in a playroom, at their bedside or at medical community events. The program offers a time of laughter, creativity, hope, friendship, and encouragement to children whose lives are disrupted and fractured by illness. Camp On-The-Go also increases awareness of programming opportunities offered at the Double H Ranch to medical professionals, eligible campers, and their families.
The Hospital Outreach Director and a team of trained volunteers help facilitate this exciting and impactful program. If you have been a staff member or session volunteer at Double H Ranch in the past, you are eligible to join the Camp On-The-Go team! To receive information on how to get involved, please contact Jacqui Royael, Director of Operations, at jroyael@doublehranch.org.
