American Academy of Dermatology - Camp Discovery

• Every summer, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) sponsors six weeks of camp in five locations where everyone can experience activities such as fishing, swimming, archery, horseback riding,and nature trails.
• Campers are placed in cabins based on age, sex, and health care needs. Counselors bunk in the cabins with the campers and medical staff sleep nearby to assist with any medical needs.
• There is no fee for camp, including transportation. Eligibility is determined upon recommendation by the child's dermatologist and approval by the Camp Discovery medical director.

• One location is in Burton, Texas, located between Houston and Austin in the rolling hills of Washington County. The 206-acre campsite, known as Camp For All, was once part of a working ranch and features more than 100,000 square feet of facilities, two lakes, nature trails, wooded areas, and cleared areas for activities such as horseback riding, field sports, and a ropes course.
