The Burn Support Charitable Trust is this year bringing Annual Children’s Burn Camp back to Auckland.
It is to be held at Willow Park Christian Camp at Eastern Beach starting on January 22 for five days of workshops, activities, confidence building and fun for 36 burn survivor children from throughout the country.
The yearly event – known as Camp Awhi – provides a secure environment to nurture and raise the self-esteem of young burn survivors, promoting a positive attitude while encouraging a healthy independence, said Michele Henry, the charity’s events co-ordinator/office administrator.
“Children sustaining burn injuries come from throughout New Zealand for this unique camp which ensures a wonderful experience which is invariably the highlight of the year for many of them,” Henry said.
