Camp Safe Haven Martha’s Vineyard, MA
In April of 1994, Dave Butler opened “The Vineyard Project,” a summer camp dedicated to youth living with HIV & AIDS. Sixteen years later, Camp Safe Haven Martha’s Vineyard continues to provide children and teens a week-long experience full of fun, creativity, and community.
The key mission of the Vineyard camp, as with all Safe Haven Project locations, is to provide a stigma-free environment that encourages openness and compassion. To achieve this goal, Vineyard campers are immersed in the community of the island, spending many days off-site participating in field trips and on-Island activities, which are often led by local artists and businesses.
Camp Safe Haven Martha’s Vineyard’s success is the result of an outpouring of support from a generous community, as well as work from a team of dedicated volunteers.
