President and Founder at Children's Skin Disease Foundation/Camp Wonder - Walnut Creek, California, United States
Camp Wonder (www.csdf.org) is a FREE summer camp for children with any skin disease, ages 6 - 16. Each year, 100 children from around the country with chronic skin disease take a break from being a patient for a week and focus on just being a kid. Camp Wonder is a special place free of judgment and stares! We create an environment of acceptance and support to empower the children to be themselves. Camp Wonder is held at Camp Arroyo, in Livermore, CA, a beautiful camp site built for children with special needs. We cover all costs associated with camp, even travel if the child lives outside the San Francisco Bay Area, because the families are already burdened by heavy medical expenses.
