The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
 Founded by Paul Newman in 1988, The Hole
in the Wall Gang Camp, enables children with cancer
and other serious illnesses to enjoy a camping experience of the highest quality. Each summer
more than 1,000 children between the ages of seven and fifteen from across the country and abroad
attend the camp free of charge. Camp attendance offers a critical experience in the life of a seriously ill child,
encouraging the heart, enlarging the spirit and empowering the will all year long.
Each year, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp campers share the joy of a camping experience that seamlessly
incorporates round-the-clock medical care by doctors and nurses. At the camp, these seriously
ill youngsters enjoy horseback riding, boating, swimming, fishing, crafts, archery, sports and
recreation, discovering in the process that they can do more than they ever thought possible. Through the
rest of the year, the camp hosts reunions, family weekends, parent programs and an outreach program to
seriously ill children in hospitals around the northeast. The cost of sending one child to
camp is $2,500.
