Question
What should I wear to the reception?
Answer
Wear whatever makes you feel festive and fun! Camp Holiday Trails is a summer camp, so we're not planning to be overly formal. Think garden party attire (e.g. tea-length cocktail dresses, floral maxi dresses, slacks with a button down). The reception will be held in an outdoor, covered pavilion. Please note that the venue has gravel roads, hills and lots of grass. We recommend choosing your footwear accordingly.
Question
How do I get to the reception?
Answer
There is ample parking at Camp Holiday Trails if you'd like to drive yourself. Ubers/Lyfts are also plentiful and easy to get, as we're only a few miles from UVA and downtown Charlottesville. Most parking is ~half a mile from the Pavilion, so we will have golf carts to shuttle people to and from their cars or Ubers/Lyfts. We will have a limited number of accessible parking spots closer to the reception space. Please let us know if you need one of those.

Question
What is Camp Holiday Trails?
Answer
Camp Holiday Trails creates a community that empowers children and teens with medical needs to thrive. Camp Holiday Trails (CHT) is a year-round nonprofit camp in a natural setting at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central VA. CHT was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1973 and, since that time, has provided over 10,000 kids with medical needs the opportunity to experience a positive camp experience. Our Campers, and their siblings, aged 6-17, are welcomed from throughout the United States, with the majority coming from the Mid-Atlantic region. You can learn more about them on their website here: https://campholidaytrails.org/
