Hope Loves Company and Friends bring Camp HLC to California ALS families

Camp HLC provides an unforgettable experience for children, young adults, and families who have or had a loved one living with ALS.

PENNINGTON, NJ, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hope Loves Company (HLC), the only nonprofit in the United States dedicated to supporting children and families affected by ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), hosted their 7th Camp HLC, CA on November 15-17 2024 at Camp Cedar Glen in Julian.

Camp HLC provides an unforgettable experience for children, young adults, and families who have or had a loved one living with ALS. This unique program offers a safe, supportive environment where attendees can connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories.

Funding for this program was provided by our partners: The ALS Association, Amramp, ALS San Diego, Cytokinetics, Paint for a Cure, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, LL Youth Foundation, Permobil, and Hollister.

“Camp HLC is about more than fun activities,” said Jodi O’Donnell-Ames, Founder of Hope Loves Company. “It’s about building a community of understanding and hope. Families impacted by ALS often feel isolated, and Camp HLC creates a space where they can connect with others who truly understand their journey.”

Camp Highlights
Activities: Families enjoyed a mix of traditional camp activities like arts and crafts, rock wall climbing, music, and nature walks, combined with programs that focus on coping skills and emotional well-being.

Supportive Community: Attendees had the opportunity to bond with peers and share their stories in a nurturing environment.

Expert Guidance: Camp HLC includes facilitated group discussions led by experienced professionals who provide tools and resources for navigating the challenges of ALS.
