🩸 Today is #WorldHemophiliaDay and we’re here

🩸 Today is #WorldHemophiliaDay and we’re here to shine a spotlight on hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders, many of which are rare, complex, and misunderstood.

At Brigadoon Village, we host medically-supported camps for children with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. That means epic camp memories without limits.

Campfires, canoe races, late-night giggles? YES. 💥
Fear of being different? Not here. 🚫

Because every child deserves the chance to just be a kid. And we’re grateful for the time we spend with these incredible campers during Camp Clots-of-Fun!
