Children's Burn Camp

Founded in 1997, the Midwest Children's Burn Camp is a camp for burn-injured children ages 6-19 where they can forget about their scars for a week. The camp offers a safe and supportive environment where young burn survivors can have fun and form new friendships. Activities enjoyed at the camp include zip-lining, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, archery, crafts, and even a 110-foot waterslide into the lake. Campers learn a "can do" attitude and focus on the beautiful person they are on the inside to foster a positive self-image.
