Summer time, and camp living is easy

You know what writing for this blog has taught me? I have quite a few favorite times of the year.

You’ve heard me sing the praises of holiday time and Radiothon time before, and pretty soon, another annual bright spot will be here: Camp Courage time.

There’s so much to love about Camp Courage time: I love working with Director Jamie Gibson to determine what pediatric cancer and blood disorder patients need most each summer, I love meeting campers and I love visiting camp (where I text my husband and friends pictures of the gorgeous views and ask, “Can you believe this is my job??”).

We’re kicking off Camp Courage time a little differently this year. In celebration of the upcoming camp dates (June 24-29 and July 29-Aug. 4), we’ve launched a campaign to help meet one of the campers’ biggest needs: craft supplies.

These supplies aren’t just helpful for creative classes; in the hands of these pediatric patients, these artistic endeavors allow them to therapeutically express themselves and to create a reminder of their treatment journey.

How can you help? Click here to make a gift and click here to find more campaign details that you can spread to your family and friends!
