Family Burn Camp
A supported camp experience for young burn survivors and their families.
The Experience
Healing as a Family
Family Burn Camp gives young burn survivors, siblings, parents, and caregivers an opportunity to share their stories and spend time together in a supported camp environment. Hosted at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado, the program helps families connect with others who understand and continue healing together.
When a significant burn injury occurs, it affects the whole family. Recovery can include emotional healing for parents, siblings, and caregivers as well as the burn survivor. This camp creates space for each family member to feel supported, build community, and move forward together.
