kids in the same boat with whom to share thoughts and feelings, and a community of adults to provide needed attention and to boost their self esteem. Attending camp will lessen their feelings of isolation and vulnerability, and allow them to process their anger, guilt and fear. The very special friendships begun at camp will last well beyond the week, providing needed peer support and encouragement.”
