Program areas at Special Love
Camp fantastic - weeklong camp for children with cancer. It's a fun-filled week of swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, marshmallow roasting, campfire singing and pillow fighting. Medical staff are present for the entire week of camp to care for the children. This year was virtual.
In addition to camp fantastic and brass activities, Special Love offers many weekends for the families and cancer patients to connect with other patients and relax. Additionally, the organization awards scholarships to college for survivors of childhood cancer and financial assistance to families with current childhood cancer patients. Intial ones in person and later ones virtual in 2020.
Brass activities - camp for the brothers and sisters of children with cancer. While the parents of a young cancer patient understandably spend much of their time focusing on the needs of their sick child, the healthy siblings sometimes feel guilty, invisible or ignored. As brothers and sisters experience the same emotional upheaval as parents, they may have less capacity to cope. Special Love's unique camps for siblings become an important outlet as siblings adjust to a new family routine. This year was virtual.
