Hoosier Burn Camp Begins Monday

Memorial Day marks the start of a week at camp for young burn survivors from across Indiana.

Over 70 burn survivors, age 8 to 18, will be at Hoosier Burn Camp this year. Hoosier Burn Camp provides campers with a week of traditional camp activities and programs that build self- esteem and foster friendships. There is also a fun theme every year, with “Game Shows” being the focus for 2013.

“The week at camp gives our kids a break from the stares and questions they can get in day to day life” said Mark Koopman, Executive Director of Hoosier Burn Camp. “They come to an atmosphere where their scars are normal, where the other kids have had similar experiences, and for a week they can be “just one of the kids”.

Hoosier Burn Camp is supported entirely by donations, which allow campers to attend at no cost to their families.
