The Painted Turtle seeks to reach beyond illness, to inspire children with life-threatening
diseases to become their greater selves. It is our mission to provide a year-round, life-changing
environment for these children and their families – one that allows children to participate in an
authentic camp experience by supporting their medical needs and offers their families care,
education, and respite.
