That's where the Missouri Children's Burn Camp comes in. Located on the Lake of the Ozarks, Burn Camp provides freedom from the rejection, isolation, loneliness and frustrations often experienced by a burn survivor. The camp offers burn survivors a place to unite, play, heal, grow and support each other after suffering disfiguring burns. Burn camp is for children between the ages of 7 to 17 who have been hospitalized for burns. Enrollment is subject to medical approval.
Campers attend at no charge.
The camp is sponsored by Burns Recovered Support Group and supported by public and private benefactors. P.O. Box 410332, St. Louis, MO, 63141. Callers can find information about eating disorders, treatment resources, and nationwide support services. It includes news on body image, eating issues, current eating disorders prevention programs, and outreach updates. Something tells me that if Carl Winter, Ph.D., Extension Food Toxicologist and Director of the FoodSafe Program at the University of California, Davis, had been born with the voice of Mick Jagger, he would not be in the food science laboratory today.
