A Tribute To Our Founder Paul Newman


“I wish I could recall with clarity the impulse that compelled me to help bring this camp into being. I’d be pleased if I could announce a motive of lofty purpose. I’ve been accused of compassion, of altruism, of devotion to Christian, Hebrew, and Moslem ethic, but however desperate I am to claim ownership of a high ideal, I cannot. I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck; the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others, made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it.” - Paul Newman.

Two decades ago, actor Paul Newman’s dream of opening a camp for children with serious medical conditions became a reality. His endless passion and commitment to help those less fortunate, especially children, was enormous. Children whose lives are interrupted by illness are able to put their worries aside and enjoy a carefree camp experience thanks to Paul’s tireless efforts and boundless enthusiasm.


Indeed, Paul lived a life informed by his recognition of luck – but greater than that was his motivation to act on that acknowledgement, and truly make a difference. His vision helped found the first Hole in the Wall Camp in 1988, and has since grown into the world’s largest family of camps for children with serious medical illnesses, operating in Connecticut, New York, Florida, California, North Carolina, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, France, the United Kingdom and regions in Africa and Asia. Paul's kindness and generosity has touched more than 135,000 children and it was Paul’s dream that the camps continue to thrive, providing a place filled of warmth, compassion, laughter and most of all acceptance. Paul’s liveliness, energy and dedication will be missed by all who knew him, worked with him and who were touched by his kindness.

Our Camps

Paul Newman founded The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in 1988. This wondrous place became the starting point for what is now a global family of camps. Today, Hole in the Wall Camps restore childhood to children living with cancer, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, HIV and other serious medical conditions.

Supporters grew passionate about Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Camps mission, and by 1997 there were four additional camps including Double H Ranch in New York, Camp Boggy Creek in Florida, Barretstown in Ireland and L’Envol in France.


As was the case for many of Newman’s endeavors, the beginning of theAssociation of Hole in the Wall Camps Global Partnership Initiative was fairly accidental, and began with a visit to Africa. It was that very visit that compelled Newman to expand the organization. Today, a Global Partnership Initiative in Africa and Asia extend the camp experience to children living with HIV/AIDS. In collaboration with local organizations and medical clinics, the program incorporates the traditional camp model with therapeutic recreation, HIV education, wilderness awareness and conservation. Since opening in 2001, these initiatives have educated and empowered more than 2,700 children and trained over 350 local staff members in Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, Lesotho and Vietnam.

In the wake of the millennium, camps began sprouting everywhere. By 2007, the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps welcomed The Painted Turtle in California, Victory Junction Gang Camp; a NASCAR racing themed camp in North Carolina, Over The Wall in the United Kingdom, Dynamo Camp in Italy and Bátor Tábor in Hungary. Today, it is with tremendous pride that the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps anticipates the opening of its first camp in the Middle East. Jordan River Village in Israel will provide a traditional camp experience to children on both sides of the river, with aspirations of enhancing efforts toward peace in the region.


The organization that Paul Newman founded more than 20 years ago has created a concrete bond that will withstand time, and a sense of belonging that has become absolutely contagious. With the hopes of improving the lives of children and their families all over the world, new camps are in development in Ohio, Colorado, Washington, Japan, and elsewhere around the U.S. and the world. What began as one man’s dream has turned into a reality that has restored the joy of childhood to children worldwide. Due to Paul’s never ending commitment to the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, his vision has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands campers, parents, siblings, volunteers, staff members and supporters, and will continue to touch lives in the years to come, and for that, we – are eternally grateful to our founder, Paul Newman.

Thank you.

I have always admired Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways... His Newman's Own stuff is high quality and the proceeds go to good causes

The Turner Movie Channel has a whole day and night set aside for Paul Newman movies today. What a treat...as I missed the movies when they came out. I wish they would do it again sometime and include more of his movies....maybe they don't have the rights to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as it is not in the list.
