Regretfully, the 2024 Camp Session has been cancelled
DELAWARE BURN CAMP
Free camp for ages 5 through 18 who have been medically treated for burns.
The Delaware Burn Camp was established to provide a safe and natural environment for the promotion of physical and emotional healing to young victims of burn injury. The mission of the Delaware Burn Camp is to assist young burn victims in their adjustment to injury through the provision of a safe, supportive environment and providing companionship through physical and social activities in a camp setting.
STAFF & CAMPERS
The burn camp is staffed by nurses, fire fighters, volunteers, professional, and non-professional people from around the State of Delaware. Our staff is filled with caring individuals who all have a passion for helping others.
The camp welcomes – free of charge – any child between the ages of 5 – 18 who has sustained a serious burn injury. The Delaware Burn Camp raises money through the fire service, private organizations, and supportive community members. All of the costs for camp are covered by the organization and there is no charge to the camper’s family, regardless of income.
ACTIVITIES
Just like any summer camp, the kids are provided with a variety of activities that are designed for fun, learning, and development of self-esteem, and they are tailored to meet the physical and special needs of burn survivors. These include Boating, Fishing, Swimming, Movies, Dancing, Archery, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Arts and Crafts, and more!
If you want to learn more about the camp, or know of a child who was treated for burns and would benefit from the camp, please contact us at the link below.
BENEFITS OF BURN CAMP
One of the maint benefits of burn camp for children is the growth of friendships with others in the same situation. Many young burn survivors feel they are free to make new friends–growing self-confidence in a positive and fun atmosphere.
Immersion in a supportive community of other burn survivors is key. They have opportunity to try new activities and learn teamwork supported by people who understand their situation.
HAPPY CAMPERS
Our campers participate in many fun activities
