As we gear up for Summer Adrenal Camp Week at the beautiful Painted Turtle Camp in Lake Hughes, here are some thoughts on the importance of medical camp for children with CAH:
- Building a Supportive Community – Peer-to-peer support can be empowering and normalizing for children with a lifelong condition. Developing strong friendships can build a network of understanding, avoid feelings of loneliness, and be a confidence booster!
- Key Medical Support – Having a medical team that is trained to manage Adrenal Insufficiency can make all the difference to a parent. Doctors and nurses on-site at camp provides continuous support so campers can have the best time of their lives.
- Holistic Development – Medical camp prioritizes fun and personal growth. Children can explore new skills, build independence, experience joy, and develop resilience by overcoming challenges in a safe setting.
- Fostering Hope – Interacting with others at camp who are thriving with the same condition can inspire optimism.
Medical camp is magical in many ways! It can be a treasured retreat and a transformative experience for children with CAH.
