Cancer family camps, events and getaways

[Anissa Mayhew]

If you've participated in a camp or getaway like Camp Sunshine or Camp Boggy Creek, please share your experience. If you haven't had the chance, ask about one and perhaps someone can let you know how it was.

Recently we attended Camp Sunshine www.campsunshine.org
We LOVED it!!!!!!! It is a fair distance away...Maine, but well worth it. Also, beleive if you contact them far enough in advance they will find a company to sponsor plane tickets for your family. It's one week, a Dr. there (she actually lives there) 24/7. The camp is on a large beautiful lake called Lake Sabago. Activities all day for the kids and for the parents. Paddle boating, canoeing, indoor swimming, yoga, and rock climbing are just a few of them. All I can say is that I can't wait till we go again! Liem made a best friend and we're already planning on making sure we meet up at Camp Sunshine again!
