| JANUARY 1, 2025 -- I wanted to give you more information on this year’s special project: The Hole in the Wall Gang. We feel that this charity meets the needs of not only children but the whole family.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
was founded in 1988 by life-long Connecticut resident Paul Newman with one simple premise in mind: to provide opportunities for children with serious illnesses to experience the transformational spirit and friendships that go hand-in-hand with camp. The Goal is to create ongoing Camp connections that build a joy-filled, inclusive community where children – and families in all the forms they come in – are not alone in their challenges and more than a diagnosis. All programming is intentionally designed to meet every individual’s unique needs and offered at no cost to families thanks to the generosity of others.
Our Impact: Through overnight camp experiences supported by a significant, yet unobtrusive medical presence as well as off-site Family and Hospital Outreach programming, Hole in the Wall serves more than 20,000 children and family members annually throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Located in Ashford, Connecticut, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp-Connecticut is a playful, kid-sized Old West filled with traditional camp activities adapted
so all campers can participate. From the Pool to the Boathouse, from the Horse Barn to the Theater, our Connecticut location is a magical setting for summer and year-round programs.
They have a number of Programs: Summer Program, Family Weekends, Adolescent & Young Adult programs and Bereavement
A full description of these programs was sent out to your Family Activities Chairperson. We hope you have an interest in this year’s choice and you also can look online to find out more about this great charity. We wish you a very happy new year. Stay safe and warm in the coming months.
