Where the real cure is laughter and the medicine fun!
Support the Right to Happiness for children with serious or chronic illnesses.
Dynamo Camp was founded in 2007 from an idea of Vincenzo Manes, who is its Chairman. The mission is to offer these children a period of relaxation and fun for free and to contribute in developing their trust in their own abilities and potential. Dynamo Camp is part of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, a non-profit association that promotes and manages holiday camps worldwide which are specially structured to host children affected by serious and chronic pathologies for free.
