Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sickle Cell?
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that causes the distortion, or “sickling,” of red blood cells. It occurs when a child inherits a sickle cell gene from each of their parents.
Is the camp safe?
YES. The camp is fully supervised by well-trained staff, volunteers and doctors.
How many children go to camp?
