It's almost time for CAMP WONDER!!





Adam and Noah are SOOOO EXCITED because its ALMOST time for Camp Wonder!! Only 18 more days til they go!! We went and bought some of the the stuff they need yesterday at dollar store and Big Lots like chap stick, containers for shampoo/body wash, deodorant etc. I still need to hit the thrift stores and find Adam some turtleneck shirts since that's ALL he will wear and he only has ONE!! lol I don't think the counselors will appreciate him wearing the same shirt all week!! Right guys?

Camp Wonder is an AWESOME camp for kids with fatal skin diseases. A place for them to go and have fun and do things other kids can do without being teased, stared at or critized. They go to the resevior, swimming, rockwall climbing, rope course, baseball, at night they have casino nights, dances, pirate night, campfires, and LOTSSSSSSSS MORE!! The camp is free to the campers and their families because of all the expenses the families put out on medical bills and such. The camp is run by donors who send in donations and sponsor kids and volunteers.There are nurses and doctors there all week to help the campers along with lots of volunteers who are counselors to make sure the kids have LOTSSSSSSS of FUN and MORE FUN!! Their website is at www.csdf.org or you can go to this site and click on the video links on the right and SEE the fun the kids have http://csdf.org/support-csdf/camp-wonder-video.html. You will see my youngest (Noah) in A LOT of these videos. He is my lil red head.He is known as the "Camp Flirt" lol. I saw Adam in a few. Noah's friend Emilio is in them also. HI Emilio!!! Check out the video and see what the kids have to say about Camp Wonder!! I know the day we leave Camp Wonder, my boys are COUNTING the days til next yrs camp!!

If you know of any kids from 7 yrs and up that have a skin disease then have them contact the Childrens Skin Disease Foundation www.csdf.org and ask them about Camp Wonder. Tell Gina Marie (Adam and Noah's Mom) sent you. :o) Also if you would like to help out the kids that go to Camp Wonder, you can contact the foundation and ask how you can help. They can use all the help you can give, financially mostly. Let's help give these kids some fun this summer!!
