[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 295229, member: 3444"] Shari, this is a camp for kids with serious medical problems -- it's part of the Paul Newman Hole-in-the-Wall camps. The one near us serves a variety of different groups, including Crohn's & Colitis, which is why my difficult child qualifies. At this particular facility, they work very hard to help these kids forget that they have any kind medical issue. In other words, they let them be kids, and in a very safe, structured, fun and loving environment. We are very fortunate to have found this camp. It is staffed 24/7 by nurses and at least one specialist M.D. The counselors go through rigorous training, including psycho/social needs of the kids. And since they don't charge families a dime to send their kid to the camp, we don't hesitate to fundraise for it when we can. :) I know difficult child is having a good time. :D [/QUOTE]
