Summer Camp Offers Healing Escape for Children
Reading
Children can get serious health problems called autoimmune diseases. A special camp in New York helps these young patients feel like normal kids.
One boy named Dylan, 12, had lupus but laughed on a high-ropes course. Doctors were always at the camp to quickly help if anyone felt sick.
Autoimmune diseases happen when the body's defenses attack itself by mistake. These illnesses can be very serious for children, especially when they are young.
A hospital worked with Frost Valley YMCA to create this fun camp experience. Parents felt better knowing doctors would care for their children's health needs.
Another camper, Ethan, 11, often forgot about his joint pain while playing. He ran, smiled, and played with friends just like any other happy child.
