Pre-registration for Camp Wanakita 2026 is officially open! Each summer, campers living with bleeding disorders come together for two weeks of adventure, independence, and lifelong friendships. From canoeing and campfires to high ropes and leadership challenges, Wanakita is more than a camp — it’s a place where kids gain confidence, build independence, and see that their bleeding disorder doesn’t have to hold them back.
