2022 Counselor Application

Please note: One of the goals of camp is for burn survivors to gain independence and grow at their own speed. Camp is also an opportunity for survivors to connect with each other as well as firefighters, nurses, law enforcement, and others connected with the pediatric burn community. While we appreciate caregivers’ desire to be involved, in order to facilitate this independence and connection we have found that it provides the best experience for campers when caregivers do not serve as counselors.
