Camp Building Bridges
The mission of Camp Building Bridges is to provide a respite camp
for young teens away from home to receive educational support in
regards to Alzheimer's disease or any neurological disorders that
are related to dementia. This camp will also empower them to connect
with their peers to form their own support network to allow them to
be successful individuals in dealing with these diseases. The camp
program was created through the inspiration of our now 14 year old
son Austin, whom we have seen struggle with the emotions and pain
that this disease inflicts upon its youth that have loved ones
suffering with dementia. No child should have to suffer through
this kind of pain alone.
Camp Building Bridges served as a "Pilot" Program for 2008 and with
GREAT success of the program it has now been adopted by the
Oklahoma/Arkansas Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.
