Camp Courage is a camp put on by the Foundation for Burns and Trauma, Inc.. Youth burn survivors from around Arizona are invited to attend the week-long Arizona Children's Burn Camp, "Camp Courage", up at the Pine Summit campground in the Prescott National Forest each year. Lots of smiles are seen in the cool pines while campers are horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, swimming, performing skits, making crafts, and pushing their personal skills during the ropes course. Camp Courage attendance is encouraged for all our young friends who have been hospitalized for their burn injuries (ages 6 – 15).
The Calgary Committee plays an active role in Camp Courage by sponsoring young burn survivors trips down to Arizona to attend the camp. The Committee also sponsors various activities to entertain the visitors while they are in Phoenix before and after Camp Courage. Families are also needed to host the campers for one night while they are in Phoenix. The Calgary Committee conducts a search to find host families to take in the campers for the first night they are in Phoenix.
