Camp Bucko is a non profit organization that provides an opportunity for children aged 7-17, recovering from burn injuries to meet other children who share similar feelings and experiences in a camp environment each year. Camp gives these children temporary freedom from the everyday frustrations of being burned, a chance to share their stories and to bond with each other. It is a benefit for children in these circumstances to attend a program such as this to build self-esteem to cope with life beyond their burn injury. Camp Bucko's mission is to provide a place where kids can go so they can be themselves without feeling different or alone.
