Camp Boggy Creek Schedule Expands for 2005
It’s never too soon to start thinking about summer camp in Florida! Camp Boggy Creek, Florida’s camp for chronic and seriously ill children, has announced its 2005 schedule of both family weekends and summer camp sessions. In 2004, 3,288 campers and their families were served at Camp Boggy Creek, a record for the Florida camp.
Camp Boggy Creek is a year-round camp for children ages 7-16 who have chronic or life threatening illnesses. The camp, located on 232 acres in Eustis, Fla, allows children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays to enjoy summer camp as just a “kid.” Between early morning swims and evening campfires, children have a chance to enjoy the summer camp experience with others coping with the same illness or condition and realize that they are not alone. Camp Boggy Creek is always free to children. Camp Boggy Creek is solely supported by contributions and donations from individuals, corporations and foundations.
A record number of Florida’s children experienced the transforming effects of Camp Boggy Creek in 2004. During the summer sessions at the Florida camp, 1,028 seriously ill children were served and an additional 2,260 campers and family members attended weekend programs throughout the year. The total number of campers and family members served in 2004 at Camp Boggy Creek was 3,288.
Summer camp begins with the May 28-June 3 session for pediatric cancer. Other summer dates include: 6-11, hemophilia and arthritis; June 14-20, asthma; June 24-29, immunology; July 2-8, pediatric cancer; July 11-16, epilepsy; July 20-26, heart; July 29-August 3, sickle cell; and August 7-12, a blended session for cancer, kidney, irritable bowel disease, and spina bifida.
In addition to the summer camp program, Camp Boggy Creek will host children and family members in the fall and spring during 20 weekend camp sessions.
Deadlines for camp applications are April 1 for sessions 1-4 and May 1 for sessions 5-9. Additional Information and the full camp schedule are available online at http://www.BoggyCreek.org or by calling Camp Boggy Creek at 866-Go-Boggy extension 252.
