SUMMARY:Camp Encourage Family Camp (Utica)
DESCRIPTION:Camp I Am Me’s newest support program\, Camp Encourage\, is a special weekend camp designed for burn survivors 0-6 and their families so they can better understand and heal physically\, emotionally\, and socially after a burn injury. \nOften parents or caregivers have questions as to what to expect as their young child grows\, how to support them\, and how to help them flourish. \nCamp Encourage will be filled with fun activities like arts and crafts\, games\, waterpark fun and family free time\, along with learning sessions for parents and caregivers that will include a burn survivor family Q&A panel. \nIt’s a unique opportunity for families to continue their social and emotional healing process while also connecting with other families who share a similar experience. \nThis therapeutic camp\, held in a safe and non-judgmental environment\, will provide families with a community of support and coping skills they will be able to incorporate well beyond camp. \nLearning Session Topics Include:\nParenting a Child After a Traumatic Injury\nRehearsing Your Response\nAddressing Parental Guilt\nAdjustments After a Burn Injury \nActivities Include:\nArts & Crafts\nGames\nScavenger Hunt\nWaterpark\nFamily Free Time\nAnd more! \nCamp Encourage will take place April 23 – April 25\, 2027 at Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee\, IL. All costs for families are covered as a result of the generous support of Camp I Am Me donors and sponsors. \nRegistration for this program will open in December 2026.

SUMMARY:Summer Camp (Ingleside)
DESCRIPTION:For more than 35 years\, Camp I Am Me’s Summer Camp program has provided far more than a traditional camp. We offer a transformational experience where young burn survivors rediscover confidence\, independence\, and joy. In a world where they may often feel different\, campers arrive to find something powerful: a place where they truly belong. \nSet in a safe\, supportive\, and completely non-judgmental environment\, campers spend a week surrounded by peers who understand their journey. This shared connection helps break down emotional barriers\, allowing children to feel accepted\, understood\, and free to simply be kids again without fear of stares or questions about their scars. \nCamper Applications will be emailed/mailed to camper parents/guardians in early 2027. If you have a child that is Summer Camp eligible\, be sure to contact the Camp I Am Me office to ensure you receive a Camper Application Form. \nLearn more about Summer Camp by clicking HERE. \nQuestions? Call the Camp I Am Me office at 847-390-0911 or email Program Coordinator\, Leslie Metcalf at lmetcalf@ifsa.org. \n
