ABOUT US
The Double H Ranch, co-founded by Charles R. Wood and Paul Newman, provides specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses. All programs are free of charge and capture the magic of the Adirondacks.
Double H is located in Lake Luzerne, NY on more than 320 acres of land with waterfront access and miles of hiking trails. We are ideally situated in the quiet beauty of the Adirondack Park, yet only 3 hours from major hubs like New York City, Boston, and Montreal, Canada.

Double H's facility is a meticulously maintained year-round camp that can accommodate 126 campers and 175 staff and volunteers across a multitude of cabins. Our program areas include both indoor and outdoor pools, high ropes course, archery range, barn with riding arena and pasture, stage area, arts and crafts building which doubles as a ski chalet in the winter, dining hall, ski hill with chair lift, adaptive playground, and various other indoor and outdoor spaces. Throughout the year, we provide summer camp sessions, spring, and fall weekends for families and community groups, a winter adaptive ski and snowboard program, as well as offsite programming through our Outreach Program initiatives.
