The following testimonials come from campers, their families and supporters.

“Ryan’s confidence in himself soars. He has mentioned that he doesn’t get teased because of his scars at Burn Camp. You are all wonderful examples for Ryan. Thank you! Ryan can see other kids have burn scars as well, some worse, some better, but they all have a great time and hopefully know – they can do anything!”

“Hoosier Burn Camp is able to give Chris direction with how to deal with his scars that I cannot. They are ‘normal’ there and after all that he has experienced, he deserves it. This relationship helps parents know how to work with our children and is a great experience for these kids. Parents are first-liners of help for our children, and it is comforting to know we have support in working through burn injuries.”

“It is important that Cerstin has an opportunity to meet other burn survivors that also continue to face surgeries, the stares and questions. I feel grateful to have others supporting her, building her strength and courage and reinforcing so many important characteristics we are working on in her development.”

“My counselors Abby and Brittany were friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging. They very much wanted to do things with us and smiled often. Abby played soccer with me, and I can talk to her about anything. Brittany always made me feel good about myself. I like Hoosier Burn Camp because I didn’t have to worry about my scars.”

“You…have given these children so much to look forward to, including lots of friends, self-esteem and just plain ol’ kid fun. They will continue to share their common bond with a whole new perspective and outlook. The emotional and physical trauma that these children go through is just so unimaginable for some of us and will not/may not ever go away. I believe that the experiences at this special fun-filled camp will soften it a bit because of the love and generosity you provide. It takes so many wonderful and committed people to run this type of program. We, as parents, cannot thank you enough. You are truly appreciated, and we are grateful to have you.”
