Tucked away from the outer roads, amid rural northeastern Connecticut's rapidly rising-and-falling hills and dense woods, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is almost undetectable. Turn off the main road on the border of Ashford and Eastford, enter through the Camp gates, and a wonderland explodes in a kaleidoscopic burst of colors and architectural odes to the Old West. A sign with blue and purple letters painted by the campers declares: "Yippee, you're here!"

Hole in the Wall Camps are the world's largest family of camps for children, ages 7 to 15, with serious illnesses and life threatening conditions. Children with cancer, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS, and many other conditions come to Camp to experience the simple joys of childhood, without compromising any of their medical needs thanks to our high-quality medical care.

To date, more than 114,000 children with serious illnesses from all 50 states and 32 countries have attended our Camps free of charge. We are a not-for-profit organization totally supported by charitable contributions. Hole in the Wall Camps are the dream of actor Paul Newman, who started the first camp in 1988 and has been the driving force ever since.
