About
About The Painted Turtle is the sixth addition to Paul Newmans family of Hole in the Wall Camps for seriously ill children. It is also the only multi-disease camp and family care center of its kind on the West Coast. Through educational, therapeutic, safe, and just plain fun summer camp and year-round programs, The Painted Turtle provides a life-changing experience to children whose daily struggles often diminish both their desire to be well and their ability to lead a rich, productive life.

The Painted Turtle offers an exhilarating, challenging, and nurturing array of traditional summer camp recreational activities, seamlessly intertwined with programs that inspire children to become more self-confident and self-reliant, as well as more cooperative with their medical caregivers. There is a strong healing potential in the lessons children learn and the friendships they form at The Painted Turtle.

At The Painted Turtle, every child, no matter their illness or capacity, can participate fully in every single activity, because of the subtle, yet liberating, access components built right into the camp facilities themselves.

There is one adult to every two campers and nurses who join kids in their cabins and throughout their daily activities. The Painted Turtle is staffed by Californias top medical specialty professionals, who volunteer to live at the Camp throughout each session and who work closely with our full-time staff of nurses and doctor.

Since nearly 40% of our campers are from low income families, The Painted Turtle and our supporters give these children the gift of a lifetime, a gift of laughter, fun, and personal growth that they would otherwise not be able to experience. This gift has the potential to improve both the quality and quantity of our campers lives, because what makes them stronger, happier and healthier at The Painted Turtle, is exactly what they take with them into every challenge they face for the rest of their lives.
