THE CAMP - There is no place... like this place!
 Canoe
trips, hiking, fireside sing-a longs and meeting
new friends are exciting experiences for any child.
But, for kids with SCD, many of whom have never attended summer
camp before, these activities are experiences of a life time.
In 1994, the Jumoke Committee was established by a group of health-care
professionals and individuals concerned about the emotional well-being
of children who have sickle cell disorder.
 Camp Jumoke is the only camp in Canada that serves
the unique emotional and health-care needs of these children.
Any child with SCD between the ages of 8 and 16 is eligible
to attend Camp
Jumoke, where camp counsellors are trained to work with our children, in coordination
with our staff of health care professionals.
Funds raised through our
annual walkathon, determines the number of children we are able to send to
camp each year.
The 2010
Camp
Session
will be from Sunday August 1to Saturday August 14th.
 Camp
Jumoke is hosted at the site of Camp Wenonah (www.campwenonah.com)
near Bracebridge, Ontario, which was specifically chosen for
the picturesque surroundings, experienced staff and great programs. Click
