Founded in 2009, Zebra Crossings is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. The organization is a nonprofit based in Dover, New Hampshire, that will serve approximately 200 participants during calendar year 2024. Zebra Crossings offers a variety of programs: day programs, family events and overnight camp retreats. Programs allow children to renew their spirits through opportunities for play and to connect them with others who are facing similar challenges. Together they have new experiences, can be worry free for a while, and build lasting friendships.Zebra Crossings’ programs are tailored to the pace and medical needs of participants, and are designed to develop each child’s skills, boost their independence, and reduce anxiety related to their medical condition. Programs are currently available to youth between ages 6 and 18. All programs are small and intimate in size. Overnight programs are offered at various locations across New Hampshire, while day programs are conducted primarily in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. Participants engage in teambuilding activities, games, sports, swimming, crafts, and more. Through their experiences, participants learn and discover things about themselves that they can apply to their daily lives moving forward.Program participants live with chronic medical conditions such as (but not limited to) diabetes, juvenile arthritis, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases, POTS syndrome, heart conditions, Down syndrome, CLOVES syndrome, Proteus syndrome, and asthma. Day program participants are primarily from the Seacoast region of New Hampshire and Maine and the greater-Boston area. Overnight programs typically draw families from the New England region as well as New York.
