General Information
"I felt such union with everyone, happiness and joy. I
forgot my health situation. I wondered at the smooth
movement of the water on the river banks, the trees growing
up into the sky, the quiet of drifting down the
river.
Living with an illness can be very emotionally and
physically draining. The psychological toll in itself is
huge. Healing Waters exists to help you step outside from
all of that for a day or weekend -- we offer incredibly fun
weekend and weekday trips open to people with HIV and AIDS.
Our participant trips have been designed specifically with
the special needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS in
mind. For low fees, we are able to provide transportation,
insurance, accommodation (tents, sleeping bags and pads),
equipment, instruction, and any warm clothing you may need
including rain jackets, wool socks, and much more. The
meals we provide are specially designed to be high in
protein and nutritionally balanced as well. We also welcome
caregivers and partners on our trips regardless of their
HIV status, for the same low price.
A bit apprehensive? Most people who join us on our trips
are new to outdoor sports and many have never been camping.
Our programs have been designed to accommodate all skill
levels and we strongly encourage beginners to join us!
If you have financial concerns, please call our Program
Director, Delton Johnson, to talk about scholarships at
415.552.1190. No one
will be turned away from our trips due to an inability to
pay.
