Camp 2010 Kick Off Information
| VANCOUVER, B.C. — The BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund Burn Camp kicks off this Sunday, July 18th with 60 young burn injured children, 11 Junior counselors and 50 counselors and support staff heading up to Zajac Ranch for a week of fun. Campers and their counselors participate in group activities such as swimming, hiking, kayaking, rafting, a skit night, and arts & crafts. They also receive valuable one-on-one support from junior counselors – themselves burn survivors – and from their counselors.
A pancake breakfast and Camp Kick Off celebration is set for Sunday, July 18th from 9 Am to Noon at the Vancouver Fire & Rescue Services Training Center in Vancouver. Vancouver Fire Fighters IAFF Local 18 hosts the celebration.
Media are invited to meet the campers, chat with their families and the camp’s counselors who donate their time — professional fire fighters, burn unit doctors & nurses and adult burn survivors — all who make up ‘Burn Camp 2010’
In conjunction with Burn Camp, the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund urges everyone, especially children, to take care and have a safe, injury-free summer. Campers’ injuries range from playing with gasoline and matches, to scalds from hot water and liquids, to accidental injuries like house fires and boating and car accidents.
Many burn injuries are preventable. To assist the public, the Burn Fund has issued a list of summer safety tips, available on line at www.burnfund.org |
