BCPFFA Burn Camp

Young burn survivors attend one week of camp each July. Over one thousand children from across B.C. between the ages of 6 to 18 have attended since 1994. The camp provides young burn survivors with an opportunity to share experiences with their peers and receive valuable one-on-one support from junior and senior counselors and other burn survivors.
