Second Chance Family Camp

Second Chance Family Camp is a weekend getaway held at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, Georgia. Transplant recipients, candidates and their immediate families are invited to enjoy camp activities with others who share similar experiences.

During the weekend, families have the opportunity to participate in a variety of camp activities including canoeing and kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, ceramics, biking, arts and crafts, archery, and climbing. To help support caregivers, we offer parent only sessions throughout the weekend. Caregiver sessions may include a guest speaker or a special activity. Family weekend can be a great time to introduce camp to new campers with the support of family members.

Made possible through the generous support of our donors, Second Chance Family Camp is offered at no cost to families. Our camps rely on donor support and every dollar counts.

We reserve space on a first-come basis. Parent or guardians, siblings and other family members living in the household with the eligible camper are welcome to attend.

Transplant recipients must be up-to-date with all labs and clinic visits to be eligible to attend. The medical team will review all applications before granting final approval.
