Indian Summer Camp for Kids with Cancer

I can't believe how awesome the camp is! The kids get to do some things that are unbelievable. The Louisville Fire and Rescue team come to camp for the week and let the kids scuba dive in the pool for treasure. That's right, a treasure dive. Get the key to Davey Jones locker from the bottom of the pool and get a treat from the locker.

What would any good camp be without a talent show. Here the Medical Staff are getting down to "Dancing Queen". Besides keeping the kids in good health during the week the Med staff is great fun and the kids love them!

Wednesday was "lake day" for the campers. 23 Families volunteered their boats, gas and time to give the kids a chance to enjoy a day on the lake. This is the favorite day during the week.

The rains cut the day short but not before a ton of fun was had by all. There was fishing with pro bass fisherman, tubing behind some awesome wakeboard boats and just general fun on the water.

How about that catch? Have you ever seen a KY shark? Well, neither have we but with a little photoshop fun this young man has proof that he caught one.

The kids were treated to a visit by some of the University of Louisville and University of Kentucky Football Players and Womens Basketball Players.

The Louisville players gave game jerseys to the kids and autographed them as well.

The players joined the campers, fishing, scuba diving, shooting bows and arrows, doing crafts and playing games. All of the athletes were wonderful young people! My hats off to them for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come spend some time with the kids.

There was also a motorcycle club that visited today. These folks brought their bikes for the kids to play on. They also brought doo rags, gogles and other items for the kids.

Camp as always is unbelievable. Three bands donating their time and talents to come out and entertain the kids. The energy was awesome and to see the way the campers responded to not only hearing the bands but to meeting the musicians was a moving experience.

Daylight Divide, The Longshot Band and the Trouble with Boys were the bands. Hats off to all of you for coming out and making the evening one to remember.

6 or 7 photographers from Central KY have volunteered to capture the fun of a week at camp for the kids. This is the 3rd years for us participating and it's incredible. We burn a dvd slide show and include the files for the kids to take home with them on Sat. morning. We also do a large group and cabin group photos for the kids.

They have a ball and I'll try to post some images from the week when I have time.

The volunteers are me, Jennifer Palumbo, Linda Durhan, Deborah Kaye Montgomery, Kara Beth Brunner, Nate Mann and Don Moore.
