Story
On June 22nd, 2004, our first camper came through the gates of The Painted Turtle! It has been an extraordinary 20th year celebrating the hundreds of thousands of campers and their families who have come through those same gates and experienced the magic of Camp since then! Our hearts are full of gratitude for you and the countless number of supporters whose financial gifts help us deliver unforgettable Camp adventures that have a life-changing impact.
Join us as we celebrate stories of resilience, courage and connection across two decades of campers, volunteers, staff and other members of The Painted Turtle community. These stories reveal the joy and inclusivity of a place where children are not defined by their illnesses, and self-confidence soars, friendships multiply, childhoods are reclaimed, and the impossible becomes possible!
Thanks to a generous, long-time friend of The Painted Turtle, all contributions made through December 3rd will be matched, doubling the impact of your gift!
