About Camp Youngblood – Camp Youngblood is a week-long overnight summer camp, funded by Virginia Hemophilia Foundation (VHF) and the  Hemophilia Association of the Capital Area (HACA), that provides children and teens from the inherited bleeding disorders community with a traditional camp experience in a safe, supportive environment. Campers enjoy a variety of activities while forming lasting friendships with peers who share similar life experiences.

Hosted at Camp Holiday Trails (CHT), a year-round camp for children with medical needs and their siblings, campers must be socially, emotionally, behaviorally and developmentally able to participate in group activities. With 24/7 on-site medical care, CHT ensures each camper’s individual needs are met.

  • Have an *inherited bleeding disorder

Cancellation – We understand that emergencies and illnesses can happen and that late cancellations may be unavoidable.
