a project that deals with diversity, or difference. Not the sort of diversity that you usually hear about, though, like racial diversity, ethnic diversity, religious diversity, and so forth. Instead, it's about differences involving health and illness, medical conditions and physical differences. It's a diversity that's important to consider, because lots of kids don't know much about it, and their ignorance produces stigma. And stigma is a rotten thing to have to deal with, any way you look at it. The pages are an attempt to show you what it's like to grow up with medical problems. Most of the information comes from the kids themselves, and I hope that it will give you some serious food for thought!
Fun for Tubies
The painted turtle
Offered various camps for children with serious medical conditions
Roundup River Ranch
Offers various camps to children between the ages of 5 and 17 with serious medical conditions in the 11 state regions of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, and Texas.
Camp Boggy Creek
Camp Boggy Creek is specifically designed for children with chronic or life threatening illnesses and allows them to safely enjoy the activities of a “traditional” camp. Between early morning swims and evening campfires, children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays are transformed into just “kids.” They have a chance to be with others coping with the same illness or condition and realize that they are not alone.
Flying Horse Farms
The mission of Flying Horse Farms is to enrich the lives of children with serious illnesses and their families by providing magical, transforming fun through medically-safe, cost-free experiences.
