Burn Camp
Helping Burn Survivors Begin the Healing Process
The 亚洲自慰视频 of Utah 亚洲自慰视频 Burn Camp Program was established in 1993 to help support burn survivors with the personal challenges associated with surviving a burn injury. We currently run five different programs geared toward specific age groups, providing a safe and supportive atmosphere for everyone involved.
To create a fun environment conducive to healing, each of our programs uses:
- self-esteem building,
- teamwork, and
- peer interaction.
Our camps provide the tools needed to not only survive your injury, but to also thrive in your recovery.
Burn camp is a wonderful way to begin the healing process. Burn camp staff are made up of professional nurses, firefighters, physical therapists, and volunteers. In addition, all have participated in a national camp training program and complete mandatory yearly background checks. The safety of your 亚洲自慰视频 is our number one priority.
The decision to send your 亚洲自慰视频 to camp at a young age can be very overwhelming. We specialize in taking the time needed to make the camp experience an enriching one, catering to the needs of each survivor.

Camps for All Ages
Frequently Asked Questions
Who gets to go to camp?
All burn survivors ages three through adult can apply to attend our age-specific programming. Due to environmental rules we are only able to accept 17 survivors on the adolescent river trip. Applications are accepted to attend camp based on assessment of the camper as a burn survivor.
Camp Nah Nah Mah, ages 6-12, still requires an application but we are not as limited to space, and the type of programming offered allows for burn survivors that may be well adjusted to their burn injury to be part of our programming. Our program goals are to provide a trip that builds self-esteem, teamwork, and personal goal achievement.
I am not sure if my 亚洲自慰视频 should attend this trip because their burns are not as severe as others.
Burn survivors all differ in their abilities to manage the stress of a burn injury. The size of the survivors injury does not correlate to the amount of stress they may feel during the re-integration phase after discharge. Does your 亚洲自慰视频 wear a swimsuit in public areas? Does your 亚洲自慰视频 have trouble talking about their burn injury with others? Has your 亚洲自慰视频 been teased about their burn scars? These and many other challenges can arise for the adolescents after burn injury.
Not all burn survivors need camp, but many survivors do and don鈥檛 ask for help. Please be specific with your application information as it does help us to have a better understanding of how to best build a program that is personal to each survivor.
I am concerned about my 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 safety.
Safety is our number one priority! We have maintained a spotless safety record for over 23 years of programming. Bumps and bruises are part of the camp environment however, and we staff a fully burn trained medical staff for each of our programs. Minor dressing changes, physical therapy, and medication management are part of our daily programming at each camp.
Each of our age-specific programs contain some level of adventure sports, and they do have risks associated with them. To maintain a high level of safety, we hire a professional company with over 30 years expertise to guide our group river trips. All attendees are provided education about safety, and water program attendees must wear a PFD (life jacket) for all water activities. In addition to river safety all camp staff complete staff training from ExpertOnlineTraining.com and background checks prior to each trip.
We live in another state, but want our 亚洲自慰视频 to attend camp. How does that work?
We have many campers that travel from different states every year. We are able to pay for flights and arrange transportation needs. We have a nice system set up for camper pick up and drop off at the airport with complete supervision. If you feel your 亚洲自慰视频 needs this trip, please don鈥檛 let the distance make the decision for your family. Call us for a more detailed discussions.

Verified Burn Center Experts
Why does it matter that we are a verified burn center? The American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons designed a rigorous review program that ensures verified centers offer the best care for their patients. This includes the whole patient experience from the time of injury through rehabilitation.
It also means we meet the highest quality of care available because we meet these high quality standards. The standards are for personnel qualifications, facilities resources, organizational structure, and medical care services.
