Bleeding Disorders
Bleeding Disorder Camps
Camp Brave Eagle
Camp Brave Eagle is Indiana’s summer camp for children with bleeding disorders. The week-long camp is open to all Indiana children with bleeding disorders, as well as their siblings, ages 7–15.
The basic aim of the camp is to provide these special children a traditional summer camp experience. Besides providing lots of fun, Camp Brave Eagle succeeds on another level in encouraging self–sufficiency, building confidence, increasing self–esteem and promoting a positive outlook. Further, the camp serves as a vehicle to strenthen the sense of community among young Hoosiers with bleeding disorders and their families.
The Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center Inc. (IHTC) partners with Hemophilia of Indiana Inc. (HII) in hosting camp. If you would like more information about Camp Brave Eagle, please visit http://www.campbraveeagle.org or call the IHTC at 317.871.0000 or HII at 317.570.0039 or toll free at 1.800.241.2873.

Thompson Outpost Teen Camp
The Doug Thompson Teen Leadership Program was developed in memory of Doug Thompson. Doug had a passion for helping teens and investing in youth during the most impressionable years of their lives. The program provides teen members of the bleeding disorder community an opportunity to develop and refine life and leadership skills while participating in an adventure camp experience. Teen camp teaches young men how to mentally and physically prepare for nearly anything, while affirming the choice to not participate in activities that may put them at risk mentally or physically.
