Summer camp in MA FYI
Mcda...@aol.com
Dream Day on Cape Cod www.dreamdayoncapecod.org
serves families that
have children with life-threatening and/or serious
illnesses and conditions.
Their camp is located at Nickerson State Park here
on Cape Cod,
Massachusetts. Each summer they can host up to 48 families
(over 6 weeks),
free of charge! They are a small organization with a big
heart and proud to
serve the spectrum of complex health needs, including but
not limited to
cancer, HIV, sickle cell, cerebral palsy, and so many more.
This
opportunity is not restricted to Massachusetts residents, so feel free
to
share with friends and family.
2012 summer camp sessions run
from Sunday to Friday, beginning on July 1st.
They can host up to 8 families
for each session. Each gets their own cabin
with beds, bunks, and a small
fridge. Showers are located in a separate
building.
This is truly a
family camp - all activities are family-centered, with
full-day schedules of
traditional types of camp activities like arts &
crafts, swimming,
boating, archery, playground, as well as field trips to
the ocean and many
popular Cape Cod attractions. Each family stays in their
own cabin. The
Camp's goal is truly to support the family unit - outside of
hospitals and
doctor's offices. Staff includes counselors, lifeguards, a
full time cook,
and a nurse. Note: they do not have medical facilities which
is an important
consideration for some families. Again, this is all at no
cost to families.
