The Painted Turtle Camp

The Painted Turtle: A Dream Realized

Founded in 1999 by Paul Newman and Page Adler, The Painted Turtle Camp was created to allow children with serious medical conditions to simply be kids. Nestled in the serene landscape of Lake Hughes, California, this camp has welcomed tens of thousands of children and families since its opening in 2004. As a proud member of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, The Painted Turtle is part of a global community dedicated to empowering children to rise above their medical challenges.
