Monday, June 14 - Camp Heart Connection

Despite the random rain showers, today has been a busy day. Arts and crafts was packed this morning and the campers were busy making superhero masks, bracelets and origami!

As a part of our “Everyday Heroes” program, Joe and Bear, a dog from the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Boone, came to camp to meet the campers! Bear, a kid-friendly and lively dog, has something in common with our campers - Bear is also affected by cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

Campers also got to enjoy horseback riding, climbing the rock wall, swimming in the pool, playing cards, practicing for the volleyball and basketball tournaments, and even more arts and crafts!

Tonight is "Guest Night" at Oncology Camp. At dinner we will be joined by a group of donors who have donated a camper scholarship or more, and they’ll be taking a look around camp to see their donations in action.

After “Guest Night,” it’s time for karaoke! Campers, cabins and staff will take turns singing their favorite songs and little later on in the night the teens will take part in the Teen Dance. By the end of the day, the  campers (and staff) are ready for a good nights sleep!
