Over time, due to Covid-19, it was really hard to plan a camp voor children with cancer. We did a lot of digital camp-meetings, which were lots of fun.
Digital camp-meeting:
The childred who joined, were happy to talk to people who understand what they are going through. It can be hard for them to find understandig under their close friends and families. Therefore the camps, even though they were digital, are super helpful and important.
One of the siblings that joined on the digital camp, told us that at first she was afraid to join. She was afraid everything would be super sad and that she would be sadder after the meeting. She was very happy she still joined, because the meeting gave her so much support. And she felt less lonely.
A real life camp:
We are so happy that we can plan a real life camp again. Already children are signing up and telling us how helpful the camps are. They recognise stuf and feel supported. We are looking forward to come together, to laugh together, to cry together, to meet new people and to support eachother.
