Camp Independence is a summer camp for boys and girls ages 8-18 with Sickle Cell Disease, Hemophilia and other chronic types of blood disorders. Camp is held at Bradford Woods, north of Martinsville on State Road 67. A combination of activities and educational programs allow campers to learn to manage their chronic illness while experiencing the fun of camp. Arts and crafts, canoeing, swimming, and hiking help campers develop new skills and increase their self-confidence.

Camp Independence has special activities for teenagers that will provide an advanced camping experience, which will be physically, mentally and emotionally challenging. Campers will learn leadership and team building skills that will carry over into adult life.

Physicians and Nurses from James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children will provide medical and infusion support at all times.
