Having Fun on Beach Day!CAMP DATES: Sunday, June 24 – Saturday, June 30, 2012
LOCATION: Camp Concord, South Lake Tahoe, CA
We would like to invite your child to attend our Firefighters Kids Camp program! The Firefighters Kids Camp is a one-week program that is held annually to benefit young burn survivors who are age six (and completed the 1st grade) to age seventeen.
Our mission is to provide young burn survivors with a fun and safe camp environment that encourages healing, personal growth and character development within a natural setting. Our facilities provide a rustic, natural environment where the children can enjoy the nature and beauty of the Lake Tahoe region.
Each camper’s participation is fully funded by the Firefighters Burn Institute and partnering organizations. Additionally, one sibling who resides in the same residence may be permitted to accompany the burn-injured child for up to their first two years of camp. Sibling participation will be evaluated on an individual basis and acceptance will be subject to space availability.
You will need to fill out an application (provided below) and obtain a medical examination (form provided below), as well as current immunizations in order to participate in our program. Should you need assistance in securing an exam (due to financial constraints or other reason), please let us know. Please return completed application to the Firefighters Burn Institute by the deadline date provided.
Your child will be provided a list of basic items (below) that they will need for the camp program (i.e. clothing, sleeping bag, toiletries, etc.). In the event that a child cannot secure the necessary items, we can provide assistance if notified in advance.
Transportation to and from camp will be provided from pre-designated departure points. Additional information on transportation arrangements will be provided once we identify the needs of the group based upon geographic locations.
Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Catharine Shaw at (916) 739-8525. We look forward to receiving your application!
