This special weekend offers the chance for young people and their families to spend time with others who have gone through similar experiences.  Attendees will engage in fun, recreational activities such as horseback riding and ropes courses, while also building a sense of community and empowerment through shared experiences and perspectives.  The Family Camp will provide a safe environment where families can play, learn, grow, gain self-esteem, and make new friends.

Family Camp 2023 will take place from Friday, September 29^th to Sunday, October 1^st, at Camp Taum Sauk in Lesterville, Missouri.  There are several transportation options available to your family to get to/from the camp site including bus pick-up and drop-off locations in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Springfield, and Rolla.  Families can also drive their personal vehicles to Family Camp.

While we would love to accept anyone who wishes to attend, space restrictions require that we only allow family members living in the home with the burn survivor to attend family camp.  Exceptions will be made at the discretion of the Director of Youth Programs.  There are no age restrictions to attend Family Camp.  The cost of attending is $25 per person.  A limited number of financial scholarships are available.  Please contact the Burns Recovered office at (314) 939-1550 for more information.

Applications for Family Camp will open on August 1^st, 2023 and will close on September 15^th, 2023.   Families can either complete a paper application or can use our registration platform CampDoc to apply.  Applications will be posted on the website on August 1^st, 2023.  Please do not hesitate to contact our office at (314) 939-1550 with any questions you may have!
