Camp Sunrise
Camp Sunrise is a week-long summer camp in Crownsville, Maryland, for children who have been diagnosed with or have survived cancer. The camp is maintained and sponsored by The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. Campers are given the opportunity to establish strong peer relationships with the other children they can relate to that are going through the same experiences and feelings as they are with their cancer treatment. At Camp Sunrise, campers also gain independence from the regimen of cancer treatment, and enhance their self-confidence by trying new activities offered while attending the camp.

Over four days, she had experienced intermittent fever, fatigue, headache, nighttime chills, cough and throat pain, prompting her mom to take her to an ENT, who prescribed an antibiotic, and then-as symptoms persisted-to the nearest ED, where she was diagnosed with dehydration.
