Camp High Five was formed to create a traditional camping program for HIV affected youth. As a 501(c)(3), non profit corporation, Camp High Five strives to provide an atmosphere that is free from the worries, fear, stigma and hassles of living with HIV. Eligible campers are age 6-16. They are either HIV infected or have a brother or sister who is HIV infected.

The development of a camping program for children living with HIV/AIDS is based on the evidence that HIV/AIDS greatly influences the psychosocial adjustment of children affected by the virus.

There are no paid staff at Camp High Five. Counselors and Medical Staff provide their services at no cost to the campers. Most importantly, children will have the opportunity to be around other children with the same life experiences and will not have to feel different or strange. Camp may be the first time that these children have been around other children living with HIV.

Our board is diverse and comprised of members from the
community with a variety of backgrounds.
