KANDLE - Special Needs Camp

 

"Happiness Is Camping is a sleep away camp for kids with cancer. We often show a wonderful camp video (available to view at happinessiscamping.org) celebrating kids having a ball at camp - cancer stricken or not. One of my favorite parts - and one that always brings a laugh - shows an interview with a long time camper, staffer and volunteer. Providence, with a huge smile on her face, looks at the camera and says, "Sorry Mom, but the food is better than home." 
 
The Dining Hall and Meal Times become real important at camp. Kandle Dining helps us to make those times fun for the kids, nourishing for body and soul. Kevin and Leslie have become part of our camp family. Quite honestly I don't know how we could have gotten by these past couple of years without them. Rising food costs, difficult vendors, staffing problems all get send off to them; allowing us better to do our job of making some very sick kids very happy. Thanks guys."
