I consider it an honor to write about Camp TaKumTa; it is one of the most influential forces that has touched my life. As a former camper, who is now a volunteer staff member, I see how critical it is for Camp TaKumTa to be an outlet for children to escape and just be kids again. Camp has shaped many of us into the people that we are today. Camp gives children with cancer confidence, security, laughter and love. Camp is a feeling and a bonding of very special people that 'come from different corners" The spirit of Camp and of those that have touched our lives through Camp can only be described by one word: Magic.
