NORTH AMERICAN CAMPING CONFERENCE OF HEMOPHILIA ORGANIZATIONS ( NACCHO). With funding by a grant from Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, the Hemophilia Association in Arizona is able to organize a specialized annual weekend conference in the sunny southwest that focuses on the work of bleeding disorder summer camps. NACCHO serves to promote and enhance the summer camp experience of children with bleeding disorders, like hemophilia, and to provide the dedicated organizations who put on these camps the vehicle to develop best practices, share information, and foster new ideas.

At the upcoming NACCHO conference, we will provide education and learning opportunities through five major interest tracks:

1. Business & Operations Track
   - All the nuts and bolts sessions on how to budget, market, promote, insure and manage camp – including facilities management, registration, policies, purchasing supplies for camp, and much more.
2. Campers & Parent Track
   - All sessions relating to child/youth development in theory and in practice, contemporary parenting issues, working with children with behavioral challenges, sending children home, developmental or practical issues related to bleeding disorders, as well as current topics relating to working with parents, building partnerships, setting limits, and enforcing camp rules.
3. Programs & Activities Track
   - All sessions relating to the ways in which we organize and execute our camp program and activities. These include regular activity programming, special events, practical issues, and curriculum related to instruction in sports and arts, adventure and waterfront operation.
4. Staff and Leadership Track
   - Sessions within this category fall into two areas: those relating to staff hiring, training and management; and those relating to camp leadership theory and practice, cultivation and training, vision, ethics, community building, and establishing or changing camp culture.
5. Medical Services Track
