Camp for All Connection Receives Funding

The Vivian L. Smith Foundation has funded a proposal to expand the Camp For All Connection project in order to facilitate access to relevant health information resources. 

The University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston is the recipient of the award with the HAM-TMC Library and Camp For All as partner institutions.  Project funds will be used to add Internet-connected computers and a networked printer in the Club House facility at Camp For All.  Internet-connected computers will also be added in the Camp staff cabins.  In addition, extra ports will be added in the Health Center and Club House for laptop Internet connections.

Camp For All is a barrier-free camp working in partnership with other organizations to provide camping and retreat experiences that enrich the lives of children and adults with chronic illnesses and disabilities, and their families. The facility is located on 206 acres in Burton, Texas.

The purpose of the Camp For All Connection project is to facilitate access to electronic health information for care providers and camp staff at the facility by creating an online health information resource at the facility, training staff in the use of electronic health information resources, and supporting the health information needs of Camp for All campers.
