VACC Camp Overnight campers come from throughout the United States. South Florida families and youngsters from local residential care facilities join in as day campers.

Each spring in April, Miami Children's Hospital hosts a free week-long overnight camp for ventilation assisted children (children needing a tracheostomy ventilator, C-PAP, BiPAP, or oxygen to support breathing) and their families. VACC Camp gives families a fun opportunity to socialize with peers and enjoy activities not readily accessible to technology dependent children. The program includes swimming, field trips to local attractions, campsite entertainment, structured games, "free play", and more - all to promote family growth and development while enhancing individual self-esteem and social skills. Parents have formal and informal opportunities to network among themselves.

Did you know that VACC Camp celebrated its 40th anniversary this year? That's right, 40 life-changing years for the many ventilator-dependent children and families we've welcomed to camp. Not to mention the hundreds of volunteers who have made the camp "the happiest place in the world" for one week every year.
Here's a look back at how far we've come...
