2011 Burn Camp
The journey from burn patient to burn survivor is a long and painful one. It is sustained by hope, conviction and unparalleled courage.
Confronting the challenges imposed by a lifetime of pain or disfigurement is just the beginning for most burn survivors. They must also struggle to heal the acute emotional and psychological trauma that can be equally painful and daunting.
The Burn Fund hosts young burn survivors for one week of camp each July. Close to eight hundred children between the ages of six to 18 have attended since the Burn Camp began in 1993.
Abbotsford Local 2864 has always been involved in Burn Camp and this Year we are proud to have hosted the Burn Camp Kick Off.
