Formed in 1993, Camp Discovery offers a summer camping experience unlike any they’ve had before. Every year, the American Academy of Dermatology sponsors a week of fishing, boating, swimming, water skiing, arts and crafts, and just plain fun. Under the expert care of dermatologists and nurses, Camp Discovery offers campers the opportunity to spend a week among other young people who have similar skin conditions. Many of the counselors have serious skin conditions as well, and can provide support and advice to campers. Fun, friendship, and independence are on the top of everyone’s agenda. and everyone shares in the discovery of what it’s like to be included.
There is no fee for
camp. Full scholarships, including transportation are provided by
the American Academy of dermatology through generous donations.
Since Camp Discovery's inception, the number of campers has continually
increased. so much so, that in 1999 a teen camp was implemented to
accommodate the growing number of campers. The Academy is proud to
offer this experience to approximately 200 children each year.
