Located in the woods of Union, CT the Children's Burn Camp began in 1980. This camp, designed for kids between the ages of 8 and 18 who have survived serious burns, has a larger purpose then just a week of fun. To most, Burn Camp is, “the one place where no one looks at us differently, or judges us by our scars.” The Camp is funded through donations mostly made by firefighters' fundraisers and other groups throughout the Northeast. The staff is made up of firefighters, nurses, and physical therapists, all volunteering their time to make sure these kids have the experience of a lifetime and stay safe while doing it.
