Camp PHEver - July 12-17, 2015, Burton, TX
Camp PHEver's Mission: Our mission is to provide children
and adolescents with PKU a typical summer camp
experience where they can meet new friends, reunite with
old camp buddies and just have FUN. Although our primary
focus is: fun, fun, fun, our campers do indirectly receive
education about PKU. Parents, you can relax, knowing that
while your children are away having fun, they are still under
strict diet supervision. Camp is a time to enjoy summer and
feel comfortable about PKU.

Cavett Kids Foundation Kamp Courage - August 12-16, 2015, Dry
Gulch, OK
Camp Wildfire is designed for kids with Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy
and PKU. The fact that many of our campers are in wheel chairs
makes Dry Gulch USA the perfect location for this camp as all walkways and roads are paved throughout the campground, making it
easier on our campers facing mobility challenges.
There is a full-time nursing staff on hand to administer medication and assist with all
other medical needs. Spina Bifida affects many areas of function for a person. Therefore, this camp requires the most staff support out of all the camps, as
many campers also need assistance performing basic daily activities. These needs are
met by a caring group of volunteers who attend each year.

PKU Camp at the South Shore YMCA Camp - August 23 - 28, 2015,
Sandwich, MA
During the last week of the summer, we offer a five day co-ed
program that takes place at Camp Hayward. This week is jam
packed with some of the best events of the summer: Dance, all
camps, co-ed day, cookout. Campers with PKU are welcome
and encouraged to attend Co-Ed Week. Please see below for
more information on our PKU camp.
This opportunity allows children with PKU the unusual opportunity to meet other
children facing the same issues, while following the specific PKU diet in a normal camp
environment. Campers stay in cabins and participate in a specialty activity of their
choice, such as sailing, tennis, performing arts, or horseback riding.
Meals for children with PKU are prepared by the group of volunteer staffers
and professionals organized by Children’s Hospital, Boston. Often coordinated to
coincide with our traditional menu, food choices are based on medically-prescribed
diets and served from a buffet style table designated for campers with PKU. Metabolic
staff and nutritionists are available at our Camp to provide low-protein meals and help
prepare formula, maintain diets, and offer support.
