The Round Up River Ranch is the design phase and plans to open in Eagle County in two years, north of Dotsero. Located near my hometown and in the county where I work work in EMS, this camp will provide a regional option for sick kids to enjoy a summer respite.
My wife Jenn, who works at the Children's Hospital Infectious Diseases Program has patients who enjoy going to Hole in the Wall Gang camps, however it can be a logistical and financial challenge for them to attend. Having a Colorado option is a tremendous opportunity for kids who may not be able to travel out of state.

As a member of Team Hole in the Wall, I am using my participation in the
ING New York City Marathon on November 1, 2009
as a way to raise funds for and bring awareness to Hole in the Wall Camps. Please help me reach (or even exceed!) my goal by clicking on my support button. With your generosity, we can all share in the joy of knowing that we are helping to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Every summer at Hole in the Wall Camps, hundreds of children become athletes and actors, painters and poets, swimmers and singers, clowns and canoe paddlers, naturalists, equestrians, and hot air balloonists. It is amazing what these campers accomplish in one week; just as amazing are the obstacles they overcome on a daily basis, for these children suffer from serious illnesses such as cancer, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS, and hemophilia. Camp helps keep them going – throughout the many challenges of serious illness.
