The Painted Turtle

The Painted Turtle

A SeriousFun camp founded by Paul Newman for children with serious illnesses. Kids experience the magic of camp year-round, free of charge.

We believe all children should be able to experience the joys of childhood and the profound, life-long impact of camp. The Painted Turtle staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, and supporters work year-round to give children with serious medical conditions the chance just to be kids in a safe and inclusive environment. Thousands of campers and family members come together each year to sing, dance, laugh, grow and discover their potential in a community of people who have shared experiences.
