It's
not too late to send a kid to Champ Camp!
"This
place makes me feel special and normal instead of feeling like an
outcast in the world. Here we can be ourselves and feel safe in
how we look," says Sixfo, Champ Camper, age 16.
Champ Camp is
a safe place where burn injured kids can experience great summer
fun, be with friends who know what it's like to have a burn injury,
and make memories to last a lifetime. Hosting over 150 kids ages
5-17, Champ Camp happens one week every June at Wonder Valley Ranch
in Sanger, California. Although it costs $750 per child to attend,
it is completely free for campers and their families. They
enjoy trips to the water park, horseback riding, fishing, dances,
and loads of other fun activities with their friends...only made
possible by donations from many caring people like you.
Real, positive
changes happen at Champ Camp. Besides being a fun summer getaway
for kids, Champ Camp helps them feel more confident by building
their self-esteem and providing opportunities to be more independent
through challenging and fun physical activities. Even though the
effects can be subtle, like hearing a child talk about their burn
injury or seeing them wear shorts in public for the first time,
these are great triumphs they will use all year long.
By donating
now, you can give a burn injured child the opportunity to build
friendships, be confident and have a great summer at Champ Camp
this year!
