From September 28th to October 4th, AARBF had the amazing opportunity to send a teen Champ Camp camper and a counselor to attend the IAFF Burn Camp in Edgewater, MD.
This annual week-long camp, hosted by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), brings together burn survivor teens from all over the US and Canada. This year, our very own Alana and Blossom joined 40 other burn survivors and counselors for a week filled with confidence building and community bonding. They also had the chance to visit different historic sites in Washington D.C. and Annapolis.
Blossom, Alana and Alana’s mom shared their thoughts on this experience: “Being able to go to this camp and connect with people from all of the US and Canada to build new friendships and memories was truly an experience I won’t ever forget.” “We were truly honored and privileged to attend” “I am very grateful”.
