Camp Sunshine and Other Resources for Burn Survivors

Camp SunshineCamp Sunshine

Children who have been severely burned are welcome to our free camp where they can fish, swim, play games and have fun in a setting that is comfortable and accepting. We also encourage adult burn survivors to come to camp to act as role models and counselors for the kids.

This camp is sponsored by the Arkansas Professional Firefighters Association who raise all the money. Most of the counselors at camp are firefighters, burn survivors or staff from The Burn Center. Camp is usually around the end of August.

Burn Survivors

If you or someone in your family has survived a burn injury and need help in any way, please contact The Burn Center. We offer support for burn survivors and their families including:

  • School Re-entry—we will come to your school to teach the other kids and the teachers what you have been through and help them understand what special needs you might have or help them understand that you are just like everyone else.
  • Camp SunshineRe-entry for adults—we will come to your business, church or community and help them understand what you have been through. This may ease the transitionback to home or help you if you move into a new community.
  • Wound Care and Rehab assistance—If you are having trouble with wound care, pressure garments, splints, or any daily activities, call The Burn Center for help.
