Patty Hillkirk is a Gestalt Psychotherapist and the founder and director of Camp Dreamcatcher, a free therapeutic program for youth impacted by HIV/AIDS. An alumna of Penn State University, her work is driven by decades of experience in psychotherapy and non-profit leadership, focusing on creating safe, supportive communities for at-risk children and their families.

Pattys dedication to community service was inspired by her familys belief in volunteerism and intensified after her best friend was diagnosed with HIV in 1986. This personal connection fueled her lifes work, leading her to create a space where children can cope with trauma, stigma, and grief, fostering healing and unconditional support.

Her journey to create the camp was inspired by a "60 Minutes" segment she watched in 1995 about a similar program.
