Review for Vermont's Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, South Hero, VT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is a camp in South Hero Vermont that provides children between the ages of seven and seventeen who are battling cancer, as well as children who have already been treated for cancer with incredible, carefree, life experiences. Camp not only allows children to get away from the stress and constant hospital life involved with having cancer, but it also allows them to be a child again, to share an unbelievable week with more games, gags, activities, and daily themes than I can list. Camp provides life-changing bonds of friendship between both campers and staff members. There is something magical about the simple understanding of what everyone at camp has gone through or is currently going through in his or her life. The magic of camp lets everyone take down defensive walls. People are seen at their strongest and most vulnerable moments all in one week. Camp is an incredible healing power that gives children confidence and optimism needed in their lives and overcome any obstacles they may face.
