The purpose of Camp ‘Can’ Do is to provide a fun, residential camping experience for children, ages six to seventeen, that have been treated for a serious burn injury. Camp ‘Can’ Do provides a safe, supportive, fun outdoor environment and a variety of social, recreational, and educational activities for campers.
Camp activities may include fishing, swimming, boating and canoeing, games, ropes courses, arts and crafts, entertainment, a dance party, field trips, firefighter relay games, and much more.
Camp ‘Can’ Do provides opportunities for personal growth, increased self-esteem, and development of leadership skills. Our goal is to provide a camp where children and teens can play and have fun with others who have shared similar medical experiences. Camp Goals Include: - To provide a unique, exciting, fun-filled experience for the campers
- To convey to each camper the feeling that he/she is a unique and valuable human being
- To emphasize the positive contributions of everyone. Each camper is a winner if he/she does their best with the abilities that they have.
At Camp ‘Can’ Do the children… - Receive unconditional love and acceptance
- Have a fun-filled summer camp experience
- Are just like all the other kids at camp
- Make new friends and begin life-long relationships
- Are inspired by the other children
- Have positive role models and mentors
- Have a safe place to heal emotional scars
- Realize that they ‘Can Do’ anything!
