Camp Twin Lakes is a nonprofit organization that
helps children with serious illnesses, disabilities and other
life challenges experience the joys of childhood by providing a supportive, fully accessible camp environment.
You can help Camp Twin Lakes celebrate 25 years of
serving extraordinary children by sending more kids to
camp this summer. Each year, Camp Twin Lakes serves
more than 10,000 campers at three medically supported
campsites and inside local pediatric hospitals, leverages

support from 3,500 volunteers and subsidizes
70 percent of the direct camp costs for every camper. A
gift to Camp Twin Lakes directly supports the campers
and their families.
To make a gift by mail, send your check, made out
to Camp Twin Lakes, to: Camp Twin Lakes, 1100 Spring
St., Atlanta, GA 30309. To make a gift by phone, call
(404) 231-9887. For more information or to donate
