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.

All submitted applications are reviewed for approval by the Double H Medical Team based on the eligibility criteria, the specific needs of each child, as well as our ability to provide a safe, medically sound camp experience. The Double H Medical Team will make all final eligibility decisions.
