Camp Celebrate is a weekend camp for children ages 7-15 who have survived burn injuries.

Most campers have been treated at the Burn Center, but Camp Celebrate is open to any pediatric burn survivor in North Carolina. Activities include swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, fishing, an annual Sunday family picnic, as well as an opportunity to meet other kids who share the experience of having been burned. A number of campers return year after year, and some have returned as adults to serve as counselors and share their experiences and knowledge with the children. Teen burn survivors, ages 16-18, can serve as Counselors-in-Training. The program began in 2006 and is designed to contribute to the teen’s personal growth and responsibility.

Staff are trained to understand their needs and help them reach new goals. After spending time in our Social Recreation programs, individuals show increases in confidence, independence, and a willingness to try new things. The programs also provide needed respite for families and peace of mind that their loved one is in a safe and loving environment. Our summer camp runs from June 17-August 9, Monday through Friday. We do field trips in our community, arts and crafts, music and motion, and group games!
