Can you send the rest of the information about Inspiration again? Thanks Dan
I am the medical director of the Double H Ranch, a Hole in the Wall Camp for children with serious illnesses. In our camp in Lake Luzerne, NY, we serve almost a thousand children each summer with conditions that might otherwise prevent them from attending camp: sickle cell anemia, cancer, hemophilia, spina bifida, and other neuromuscular disorders, etc.
For the last 3 years, we have offered a separate session for families of children who are ventilator dependent. This year, "Camp Inspiration" will run from June 13-17. We can accommodate a dozen families, including parents, siblings and the ventilator dependent child. We usually take kids from 6-16 in most sessions, but we take kids from 6-18 for the vent. session. The families will enjoy swimming, camp fires, wagon rides, arts and crafts, nature programs, etc. We will "pamper" the parents, and give everyone a chance to meet and communicate with other families who are dealing with a ventilator dependent child. As with all our programs, the session is free.
To find out more about Double H, please go to our web site, http://DoubleHranch.org . To obtain an application, please contact Tara, our admissions coordinator, at (518) 696-5676, or email her at [EMAIL PROTECTED] For any medical questions, I can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (please put "camp inspiration" in the subject heading).
We would appreciate it if you would inform your readership of this opportunity! Sincerely, Kathleen Braico, MD Double H Ranch
