Review for CAMP RISING SUN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION INC, Branford, CT, USA
My daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. That year was the first year that she attended Camp Rising Sun. The first 8 months of chemotherapy was awful and she was in and out of the hospital for treatment. She was in pain from the chemo but they convinced us that she should attend camp because she needed to have fun and a "normal" experience. They kept a very close eye on her and Dr. Joe was there to offer her meds and make sure she rested. When I picked her up later in the week, I couldn't believe the smile I saw. She was a different child. She had a ball and made lifelong friends. My daughter continued to go to camp until she was 18 and wouldn't have missed it for anything. It was the highlight of her year. Camp Rising Sun is an amazing organization and the people who volunteer are equally great.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Do nothing. The beauty of this camp is that it is a traditional camp doing traditional activities...just like kids who don't have cancer.
