Campers will be given different opportunities to arrive at camp. We will be chartering buses, parents can drop teens off at camp, or teens can drive themselves. Pick up and drop off by bus will take place at the HTC- Columbia. (7 Richland Medical Park Dr. Columbia, SC 29203).
Teens will travel by US Coachways Chartered Bus Services. The bus has air, toilets, TVs, FM DVDs, and seats 49 passengers with luggage. The trip will be 2 1/2 – 3 hours long and we will arrive at camp on July 18th by 5pm.
Bus will leave at 2pm from the HTC roundabout in front of the Children’s Hospital on Thursday, July 18th and return to the same area on Sunday, July 21st at 3pm.
Please pre-register for teen camp and we will send you the forms to fill out and send back, or you can download the forms now and send in your applications. Please call Sue at the office for additional questions on transportation or registration. Camp attendees will be selected by a first come – first served basis with South Carolina selecting 15 attendees and North Carolina selecting the same. A total of 30 teens and 10 adult counselors and staff from each chapter will be the selected attendees, which will also include Robin Jones, our RN for the weekend from the South Carolina Hemophilia Treatment Center.
All attendees, adults, and teens for the 2024 Teen Camp must sign the Rockfish Retreat waiver and send it to the chapter before your application is complete.
We believe that teens have a lot to provide to the bleeding disorders community and are a wealth of knowledge for the future. We work throughout the 
year to provide opportunities for teens to gather and build lasting bonds, while growing their knowledge of living with a bleeding disorder personally or within their families. Most of our large events will have a teen program tailored just for their needs.
The annual teen retreat is a favorite!
BDASC and BDFNC annually provide a joint teen retreat for teen’s ages 13-18 years. This event is open for anyone ages 13-18 who has either a bleeding disorder or a sister, brother, or parent with a bleeding disorder. An educational component is included each year on topics related to independence, job and career preparation, advocacy training, and bleeding disorders education. Fun activities are also planned to engage teens and their friends from across both states. Come spend a weekend with friends – new & old! Share your interests, passion, and ideas about how you can make a difference for yourself and in our community. Our program will include engaging activities including learning self-advocacy, sharing your story, and how to adapt to many other life-skill challenges as you learn to transition into adulthood!
