From June until the end of August, the Double H Ranch offers children, age 6-16 during regular sessions and ages 17-21 during the alumni session, dealing with life-threatening illnesses the chance to experience the magic of the Adirondacks. During each of the 8 Summer Residential Camp sessions the Ranch comes alive with the sounds of laughter and the joys of childhood. The Double H Ranch provides camp experiences that are medically sound, memorable, exciting, fun, and empowering.
Whether it’s participating in a team building activity, bead making for necklaces and earrings in Arts & Crafts, or soaring through the air at the High Ropes course, all of the programs at the Double H Ranch are designed under the fundamental principle that no child should be denied the joys of childhood due to an illness or physical limitation.
Each session lasts 6 days and accommodates approximately 126 campers with a camper to staff ratio of 2:1. The fully equipped medical facility is staffed 24 hours a day by onsite doctors and nurses and enables us to provide a physically safe and medically sound summer camp experience.
During a typical day at camp, children are encouraged to participate in a wide variety of activities. Here are a few of the programs they enjoy:
Campers can participate in sports such as kickball, basketball, tennis, soccer or volleyball. Here they are given the opportunity to expend some energy by participating in these adaptive sports on our fields and courts while learning the importance of team work.
