Dragonfly Forest

Dragonfly Forest

Dragonfly Forest is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization providing overnight camping[1] experiences for children with serious illnesses and disorders.[2] The camp is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its office is located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The camp's primary goal is to help each child to feel like a regular kid.

Dragonfly Forest, Inc. was founded in 2002[3] and held their first camp in 2006. In their 6th year of operation in the Delaware Valley, it is anticipated they will serve over 400 campers. Dragonfly Forest is designed to provide a unique educational environment. In a recent study, 91.2% of campers realized they had many talents while at the camp.[4] The camp is financed in part by the annual Community Clothes Charity sale, which donates its profits to the camp[5].
