HFO Summer Camp - Camper Connection
Each summer, the HFO sponsors a fabulous camp program for our youngsters living with bleeding disorders! The costs associated with the camp have skyrocketed, and we need your financial support to be able to continue offering this great camp.
What’s A “Camper Connection”?
Sponsor a camper for as little as one-half day or as much as the entire week – it’s up to you! Simply write your tax-deductible check to the HFO and get connected to your camper. Each donor will receive a personal note from their camper sharing their camp experience. That way you’ll know how much your contribution means to these special kids, and they will know their week at camp has been made possible by your generous donation!
What Are The Costs?
Very little, when you consider what this experience means to each camper. For many campers, this is the highlight of their year and a chance for them to be “just like everyone else.” (Many former campers who are now adults still talk about their own camp experience, and how it was always the highlight of their summer.)
-
$50 sponsors your camper for one-half day
-
$100 sponsors your camper for a full day
-
$350 sponsors your camper for one-half week
-
$700 sponsors your camper for the entire week
How Is My Money Used?
The Camp Program Fund pays for the facilities at Camp Tapawingo in Falls City, Oregon, as well as a varied schedule of activities for our campers throughout the week. The kids have a wide range of activities including mountain biking, horse back riding, archery, swimming, hiking, canoeing, arts and crafts and much more. Campers participate as they are capable, each setting his or her own pace.
How Do I Participate?
Simply write your tax-deductible check to the “HFO,” mark it for the Camper Connection program, and mail it to the Hemophilia Foundation of Oregon, 5319 SW Westgate Drive, #126, Portland, OR 97221. You will receive a tax receipt right away, and your camper thank-you note in August!

A Pirate's Life for Me!
What do you get when you cross Pirates of the Caribbean, Survivor and Amazing Race? “A Pirate’s Life For Me” and one of the best weeks of Oregon Hemophilia Camp ever! For one week, pirates invaded Camp Tapawingo to bring one of the most amazing camps on record for the Hemophilia Foundation of Oregon. This year the camp committee tried something new and different and created a camp theme that resonated throughout the camp program for the entire week.
