Camp Wonder
By Christine Tenconi
Children! Come to a place where there are no secrets, a place where you can play with other kids who experience similar daily challenges, and where you do not have to hide your feelings about how you look. Camp Wonder, a medically staffed summer camp for children with skin diseases ages 5 to 16, is now accepting applications for Summer 2004. Camp Wonder is held at Camp Arroyo, a facility built for children with special needs. It is situated on 138 acres adjacent to the Del Valle Reservoir in Livermore, California. Camp Wonder is a very special place where children with chronic diseases have the opportunity to build self-esteem, camaraderie, and long-lasting friendships while participating in activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, horseback riding, dances, talent shows, and much more. Camp Wonder is free to all campers. Two one-week sessions are scheduled from June 20 to 25 and June 27 to July 3, 2004. For more information or to request an application please call 925-947-3825, or email [email protected].
