To be eligible for the Summer Camp Program, applicants must…

  • Have a qualifying medical diagnosis (see below), be the sibling of a medically qualifying camper, OR be the child of a medical volunteer.
  • Be 6-16 years of age for Sessions 1 through 6 OR 17-21 years of age and have previously attended a Double H program for the Alumni Session.
  • Function at a cognitive age of at least 6 years old.
