Camp ‘Can’ Do Mission Statement

 

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.
