Role
The
Zajac Ranch for Children provides not only
relief for children, but also for the medical
staff that cares for them. Leaving typical
medical institutions does amazing things for
children who are suffering with life-threatening
illnesses, and those around them are challenged
and encouraged by their remarkable transformations.
At
the Zajac Ranch for Children there is a 24
hour Medical Centre available to provide care
for every camper. Staffed by volunteer medical
professionals who are willing to volunteer
their time, children can receive medical care
while experiencing the joys of summer camp.

"The camp experience
was one of the highlights of my nursing career.
Many adolescents… have never met a peer
with the same condition. They feel "different"
and isolated at a time in their life when
"fitting in" is so important. At
camp, these kids met others facing some of
the same challenges that they do. They blossomed
and the benefits of the experience lasted
long after camp was done. The friendships
forged at weekend camps carried over for the
rest of the year."
