Abstract
Residential camping sessions for children with vertically transmitted human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome have been offered at The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp for the past six summers. More than 600 children 6 to 12 years of age have attended. Such sessions are expensive and require extensive planning. Medical and nursing needs have increased greatly over the 6-year period, reflecting advances in treatment and especially an escalation of prescribed medications. We have found it possible for these children to have a fun-filled camping experience and participate in a wide variety of activities.
