When Scott was ill, he told me that he wanted to find a way to help sick children to feel better and to cheer their spirits. In light of this request I am providing some information on Camelot for Children, an organization right here in the Lehigh Valley which serves the needs of children with serious, chronic, and terminal illnesses or disabilities and their families. Camelot House is a warm, loving environment where these children can gather to meet and play with other children with similar needs and not feel self-consciousness or fear. It is a gathering place with a playground, and playroom, a craft room, kitchen and dining areas, lounges and meeting rooms. It is open daily for families and can also be reserved for children's birthday parties, picnics, and other special occasions.
Support groups meet here regularly to share camaraderie and understanding.
Respite care is available for parents to leave their children in the care of a fully qualified nurse and take time to attend appointments. Camelot House is also an education center where seminars and programs are held to provide information to the community. Camelot House has a summer camp program where children can experience outdoor activities that provide friendly interaction. Camelot for Children accepts donations of goods and services. Please check back in the future for changes to this page.
