Our camp TLC - Teens Living a Challenge program is a residential summer camp program for teens with HIV/AIDS. Our campers are between the age of 13-19 years and all have a common factor they share. They are all living with HIV/AIDS. JDAF provides food, lodging and transportation, to and from the campsite, at no expense to the campers. This year our camp program will take place at YMCA Conference Center located in Port Jervis, New York. The facility offers many activities like tennis, basketball, arts & crafts, ceramic, hiking, swimming pool (in and outdoor) or in a beautiful tranquil lake. There are so many more activities, our campers are sure to have the best times of their lives. While our teens are enjoying camp life, most for the very first time out of the city limits, their medical is fully being provided under the guidance of an infectious disease specialist in adolescence medicine along with nurse practitioners and registered nurses. Many of our counselors are professionals and all staff participates on a volunteer basis. This year we are expecting more than 100 individuals to attend Camp TLC. Many of our campers are children that were born with HIV/AIDS. Almost all are orphaned and living with extendd family members, foster or adoptive parents. This year, we anticipate having homeless teens with HIV/AIDS and teens that have acquired HIV in their early adolescent years. All teens are accepted on a first come, first serve basis without discrimination. It is a challenge just being a teen. Being a teen with HIV/AIDS is even a greater challenge. Your support is so necessary and so very appreciated. To contribute to our Camp TLC program, please see our How Can I Help? page.
