Description
A fun, supportive environment for children & teens with neurofibromatosis
Medical Team Leaders: Children’s National Neuroscience and Behavioral Medicine Center
Camp New Friends serves to reduce the stigma and isolation that is often associated with neurological disorders and chronic health conditions. Medical staff, including nurses, social workers, physical therapist and psychologists, are on-site 24 hours a day. Counselors are trained in dealing with the issues associated with NF. Many counselors and volunteers live with the condition themselves and share their experiences with the campers.
