PA Vent Camp

Directions Website

… Where children & adults who require mechanical ventilation to breath can live without limits!

There are many camps for children with disabilities (asthma, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and muscular dystrophy) but, only a few are for ventilator dependent children. In part this is due to the critical mass of ventilator children in any geographic area but, also due to the need for intensive and comprehensive care to be available to each ventilator dependent camper 24 hours per day. The needs of ventilator dependent children for supportive care and wheelchair access not only limit the recreational activities but define the campsite as well. Thus other camp programs would be unable to tailor their activities and facilities to fit the needs of the ventilator dependent camper much less to provide the staff necessary for 24 hour per day care.

💙 What Is ExtraGive? And Why Is It So Important to PA Vent Camp?

On Friday, November 20, 2026, Lancaster County comes together for ExtraGive, an extraordinary 24-hour celebration of generosity, hosted by the Lancaster County Community Foundation!

For PA Vent Camp, ExtraGive helps make something truly special possible: a FREE week of summer camp for children who rely on ventilators to breathe! 💙 From swimming and outdoor adventures to friendships and unforgettable memories, your generosity helps give our campers the childhood experiences every kid deserves.

🎁 Here's what makes ExtraGive EXTRA special!

Thanks to generous sponsors, donations can have an even bigger impact through the Stretch Pool! The more individual donors who support PA Vent Camp, the larger our share of additional bonus funds. Plus, special prizes throughout the day give us even more chances to raise money!

💙 That means EVERY donor counts! Whether you give $10, $25, or $100, your donation supports camp AND helps us earn additional funding!

📅 Mark your calendar for November 20! Just 24 hours to make an EXTRAordinary difference in the lives of some very special kids.
