Each year, Camp Hope offers pediatric burn survivors the chance to take part in a week of summer activities with others like themselves.
Nurses, physicians, occupational and physical therapists and respiratory therapists from Vanderbilt, along with adult burn survivors, collaborate to create activities to promote physical and emotional healing for the children at the camp, held at the William P. Ridley Center in Columbia, Tenn.
