To provide the medical expertise and close monitoring required, which is not generally available at regular summer camp programs.3. To offer a wide variety of new and fun experiences with an emphasis on building life skills through activities that promote team building.4. To provide each child the opportunity to develop a self-sufficient attitude and self-esteem derived from looking after oneself.5. To promote an increased level of self-care or self-monitoring as recommended by their physicians that will give them a greater sense of responsibility for themselves as their ages and abilities allow.6. To provide the opportunity to make friends with others who understand their situation, and the chance to learn from others who share similar health experiences, thereby coming to understand ways to cope with their difficulties or limitations.7. To assure parents that their children are in a safe, secure and well-supervised program by giving them all necessary information and support.8. To treat the children the same as children without cancer, giving them the opportunity to play, sing, dance and just be a kid.
