Camp Tiger is a special needs summer camp for children ages 8 and 15. Local kids in New Orleans and close metropolitan areas are welcome to join.

Every child attending Camp Tiger has two students assigned to them. The camp is run by LSUHSC School of Medicine students in their first year, ably assisted by the next year's intake. This has been the case since they first opened in 1985.

Eligible kids can attend the camp for free, and each year the camp runs during late May for one week. The LSU School of Medicine tries to maintain a 2:1 staff-to-camper ratio.
