Major Activities

Activity 2

Youth Burn Survivor Services:Arizona Children's Burn Camp (Camp Courage) - Camp Courage is a summer camp specifically for child burn survivors ages 6 to 15. Camp Courage offers child burn survivors the chance to escape the stares and teasing that tend to be an everyday part of life and be like any other kid. At camp they engage in activities designed to build self esteem through accomplishment such as rappelling and rock climbing, and others simply intended to be fun such as canoeing, horseback riding, archery and arts & crafts. This camp is a tremendous opportunity for emotional healing and personal growth. 89 campers attended the 2010 Camp Courage. Children's Holiday Party - Due to the low socio-economic status of most of our client families, we provide a holiday party not only for the child burn survivors but for their families as well. We provide a turkey dinner, presents for everyone, arts and crafts activities, and of course a visit from Santa Claus. A door prize raffle is held so that families go home with a gift box of household items in addition to the toys. The 2009 Party hosted 347 people.School Re-entry Program - This service is designed to help facilitate a child's return to school and mainstream life as quickly and easily as possible. Firefighters, adult burn survivors and social workers meet with the student body and faculty at a burn survivor's school and dispel the myths and fears surrounding a serious burn injury

Activity 3

Burn Prevention Education:Health and Safety Fairs - The Foundation participates in approximately 20 community health and safety fairs each year. The booth and display are staffed by volunteers who distribute prevention literature about burn and scald prevention.Smoke Alarm Outreach - The Smoke Alarm Outreach program provides needy families in older neighborhoods with free dual-sensor smoke alarms fitted with long-life lithium batteries. Working in conjunction with local civic organizations and fire departments, volunteers walk door-to-door and install the alarms at no charge. In fiscal year 2009-2010 we conducted or participated in twelve installation walks in seven cities resulting in the installation of 903 free smoke alarms."Mrs. HotPots" Preschool Scald/Burn Prevention - Our newest program, "Mrs. HotPots" brings scald and burn awareness to children under five through interactive "story time" sessions held in Valley pre-schools. In fiscal year 2009-2010, "Mrs. HotPots" read to 729 children in 38 pre-school classrooms. The majority of the pre-schools are in low-income zip codes which have shown a high risk for home injuries.
