Project Info
In spite of the fact that HIV and AIDS have been here for many years, there is still significant stigma and prejudice leveled against those who live with the virus. This is especially true for kids who often hide their affliction in fear of repurcussions. Camps were created in direct response to this truth and offer those who often live in secret a chance to be themselves, with others who share their experience. The transformation that can be witnessed during the camp week is profound and life changing. Camp Safe Haven has been a model of this type of outreach for 16 years and hopes to continue to offer this important experience once again this April, 2010.
