the lucky campers.

Patty - Check out your local Arthritis Foundation. Most offer a camp of

some kind. In Illinois, its CampJam. Also, check out www.boggycreek.org

Newman has various camps for kids with chronic illnesses,that are

free. My son has never been willing to go to an overnight camp although

I wish he would. I'm pretty sure Georgina's Josh has gone to the one

through the Arthritis Foundation in Hawaii. Just thought I'd chime in,

in case you are interested. Michele (16, pauci & spondy)

Thanks for the additional camp info Michele. I think Caitlin is with Chris

on the over night thing. I couldn't imagine her spending a week away. Maybe

there is something for them in the form of a day camp. I'll have to check it

out.

Take care.
