Dynamo Camp (Associazione Dynamo Camp Onlus) is the first Therapeutic Recreation Camp in Italy specifically designed for children with serious or chronic illnesses undergoing therapy or in post-hospitalization. It is a vacation camp, located in the heart of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, that accommodates, free of charge, youngsters aged 6 -17, who are affected by haematological oncology and neurological conditions, as well as rare diseases, spina bifida, and diabetes, from all over Italy, Europe and the Mediterranean Basin.

In line with the principles of Therapeutic Recreation – on which Dynamo Camp’s activities are based – children can enjoy themselves and focus on their abilities rather than their limitations. Under the constant supervision of medical personnel and qualified staff, children at the camp practice a wide range of creative activities in contact with nature inside the splendid WWF-affiliated reserve Oasi Dynamo. Dynamo Camp belongs to the SeriousFun Children’s Network, the association founded in 1988 by the actor Paul Newman, the inspired promoter of such therapeutic experiences for sick children.
