| About Camp

|
Camp Independence is a one-week
resident summer camp for Oklahoma children of the bleeding disorders

Camp Independence welcomes children,
ages 7 to 17 who have hemophilia, von Willebrand, other clotting

| The Camp Independence
Philosophy |
|
The purpose of Camp Independence is
to provide a summer camp experience for children of the bleeding disorders
community that is both educational and recreational. Our goal is to
build a strong bond among families of the bleeding disorders community and
to increase public awareness of bleeding disorders through volunteer
participation. Chronic Illness can be very isolating. Because of our
camper's medical conditions and family finances, many would not be able to
attend a summer camp if it were not for Camp Independence. |

Directors, The Oklahoma Center for Bleeding Disorders, community and

for Bleeding Disorders. |
