Boggy Bytes: Impact Of Camp On Mental Health

"What Camp really does is improve children's behavioral health, their mental health. For instance, when my daughter went to her first camp session, her seizures didn't get any better because of that camp session, but her mental health, her self-esteem, her sense of hope and belonging improved after only five days...As I think about the future, I think about our ability to serve children across a wider spectrum of serious illnesses because mental illness and our mental health is just as important as physical illness and our physical health."

In our latest Boggy Bytes, President, CEO, and Camper Parent Dan Jurman chats about how Camp impacts the mental health of children going through a serious medical illness.
