Camper Rainbow - Bringing Joy to Life for Pediatric Cancer Survivors
When a child receives a diagnosis of cancer, asthma, heart condition, or arthritis, their days of carefree fun in the sun during summer vacation may be fewer than the number of days they spend at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia. From infusion therapies, multiple tests, and numerous doctor visits, this transition can be difficult for any child to navigate. Therefore, the members of the Child and Adolescent Life Services team works so hard to prepare amazing camp experiences like Camp Rainbow.
Camp Rainbow is an overnight, week-long camp for pediatric cancer survivors. Each child is able to bring one sibling with them for an amazing experience at Camp Lakeside in Lincoln County. Camp is a wonderful opportunity for these children to forget about their diagnosis and to focus on just being a kid enjoying kayaking, fishing, a magic show, a carnival and more amazing experiences me, my team, and our friends working for The Family Y prepare for them.
