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

Rating: 5 stars  

As a parent of a child who has gone through a bone marrow transplant I can not say enough about this haven! My 9 year old daughter had repeatedly asked me to find a camp that she could go to that had kids just like her. I found it and she went. She left home with limited self confidence and a feeling that she was alone, there was not anyone out there like her. She came back a confident, happy, nine year old without a care in the world. She had found kids just like her, and it was not only ok but normal to be just like her. TKT has been a god send. When I went to pick her up another mom stood up and made a comment that I will never forget. "Many people see the advertisements for TKT and think that this is a place of dying, I have always thought that this was a place about living!" I could not have said it better. A place where kids can be kids. My daughter says the best thing about TKT is "It's FUN, it's FUN, it's FUN!"

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I have seen the magic that TKT performs by putting a smile on faces of kids who have been burdened by medical treatments no one should have to go through. I have felt the love and acceptance of parents that have experienced similar situations by being together at TKT.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would make the sessions longer!
