Camp Courage

A New Overnight Summer Camp
for Craniofacial Patients

At Camp Courage, every child’s possibilities are endless. From team-building activities to individual support, this camp has something for everyone. Camp Courage gives every child the chance to experience camp, build friendships and make memories  to last a lifetime.

Every child needs to feel special. A child with a craniofacial disorder is no different. We promote positive self-esteem with fun and learning. At Camp Courage, the only requirements are to laugh, play, grow and explore.

Devoted Leadership

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta started Camp Courage to provide an enjoyable weekend get-away and a terrific opportunity for craniofacial patients to meet others with similar medical conditions. Many Children's employees and community volunteers will spearhead programs and activities throughout the camp to address issues such as self-esteem and personal confidence.

Children ages 7 to 14 can attend camp at minimal cost. Camp Courage wants every patient to be able to attend, and not be left out because of the financial obligation.  If the cost of Camp is an issue, please email Mandy Rosenberg or call her at 404-785-5648.  Donations toward Camp are always welcome too.

Helping each child build friendships and share lasting memories, camp volunteers include:

• Doctors
• Nurses
• Other healthcare professionals who can provide medicine and treatment when needed
• Community members who serve as counselors and activity leaders

As a parent, you can rest assured your child is exploring life in a safe and caring place. Camp Courage 2009 will be held at Camp Twin Lakes-Will-A-Way in Winder, Ga., a facility specifically designed for children with special needs.  Find directions to Camp here.
