Every summer, children with skin diseases from across the US take a break from being a patient for a week and focus on just being a kid at Camp Wonder.

Campers will participate in activities with their cabin (assigned by age and gender). Camp Wonder is a great place to meet other kids and make lifelong friends!

WHO: Any child, aged 6 – 16, residing in North America, with a skin disease diagnosis. Our campers are supported by 2 camper: 1staff ratio. Our staff are volunteers counselors, activity buddies and medical staff (doctors, nurses, PAs).

WHERE: Rutlege, Georgia at Camp Twin Lakes. A new summer camp, built in 2023, for kids with special needs. All cabins and buildings are air-conditioned, as well as a large MedLodge to support any medical care required the week of camp.

WHY: It’s not about being different, it’s about being together! We create a community of acceptance, joy and fun so that kids with skin disease can feel supported and seen for who they are beneath their skin.

WHEN: June 14 – 19, 2026

HOW: Camp Wonder covers all costs, including airfare, so that no family pays to attend this WONDERful experience. Children’s Skin Disease Foundation raises money all year to cover 100% food, lodging, activity, programming and travel expenses. To apply, visit www.csdf.org or email [email protected].

Does melatonin help eczema kids sleep?

Yes... and no.

📢 NEW RESEARCH ALERT: Can Lindioil, a Traditional Chinese medicine, help eczema?

Researchers in Taiwan compared Lindioil with tacrolimus, a common anti-inflammatory cream, in 22 adults with eczema.

After six weeks, Lindioil reduced the affected skin area, improved eczema scores, and lowered Staph aureus, the bacteria that can worsen eczema.

Researchers concluded Lindioil may help treat mild to severe eczema by rebalancing the skin microbiome, with fewer side effects like stinging.
