Camp Reynal

Camp Reynal was started in 1992 by dedicated volunteers, parents and healthcare professionals, all of whom shared the common goal to create an exciting, challenging, encouraging, supportive, safe and healthy environment for children with renal and urology disease, and to foster fun, growth, exploration, discovery, friendship, self-esteem and independence. Through support from corporate, individual, and foundation donors, Camp Reynal has provided an important and successful camping experience to over 1,200 children since 1992. Camp Reynal is one of the few camps in the United States that provides on-site dialysis.

Counselor Opportunities

Approximately 50-60 individuals volunteer to serve as camp counselors in addition to the 20-30 Healthcare Professionals who provide 24 hour medical care. Volunteer counselors receive 2 days of extensive on and off site training that includes information about kidney disease and its effect on children, information about camp procedures, regulations and safety training.

Financial Support

Due to the fact that no child pays to attend Camp Reynal, we rely on donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. If you would like to support Camp Reynal with a gift, please contact the National Kidney Foundation Serving North Texas at 214.351.2393 or e-mail kelly.vaughan@kidney.org
