Hello Brainy Camp Families!
Our Children's National Medical Center Brainy Camp staff has been very busy these last few months making exciting plans for Camp Connect, Camp Great Rock, and Camp New Friends.
We are growing! In order to accommodate our needs and improve the camp experience for all campers, we have made a few important changes to the program. First and foremost, we have relocated our campsite to a larger facility at Massanetta Springs near Harrisonburg, Virginia. Visit them online here: http://www.massanettasprings.org. It is a wonderful location that can accommodate more children and will offer our campers a greater variety of activities. Located in the foothills of the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains, this new campsite will give our kids a more traditional camp experience, with cabins nestled amongst the trees, a natural spring-fed pool, and a lake for fishing and canoeing. There are two dining halls, which we will be using for meals, cooking classes, and our first nighttime canteen. Four separate activity centers offer important opportunities for camper development. Basketball and volleyball courts, and two general sports fields will be well utilized throughout the weeks of camp. In addition, an open-air pavilion will serve as an ideal place for barbecues and nighttime activities.

Brainy Camps—Where children with chronic health conditions can play, learn, grow and become leaders!
Children’s National Medical Center (CNMC) Camps, a.k.a. Brainy Camps, offer children and teens with chronic health conditions seven days and six nights of summer fun and social connections. CNMC physicians, nurses, social workers and parent-volunteers come together to care for campers who enjoy the typical activities one might expect at camp. At Brainy Camps, children experience all of the fun and adventure of a sleep-away camp with medical staff close at hand.
