* Awards Ceremony follows at the end of each camp on Friday at 1:00 pm:
The ceremony allows the children to exhibit what they've learned throughout the week. Hospital staff, media, members of the community, families of the children and sponsors invited to attend. The local fire departments, police depts., sheriff depts., as well as the helicopter from Life Star and the Knox County Sheriff's dept. helicopter all come out to show support for these children. Each child will receive a trophy with the name of his/her sponsor. Children in attendance will come from all the clinics at East TN Children's Hospital.
Just a little of our story: Parents drive 3 hours one-way just so their child could attend camp. The children had the opportunity to bond with beautiful horses for the week that loved them unconditionally and the parents were able to make friends with other parents that were going through the same thing with their child. Jefferson County EMS has agreed to volunteer their services again for the second year. We have to have an ambulance on the property at all times with Paramedics available to treat the children if need be.
We are in need of donations of almost any kind...from arts and crafts to restaurants wanting to donate lunch for the volunteers, gift cards from Wal-Mart to buy supplies for the camp, money donations, and much more.
Special Thanks to the Jefferson County EMS!! Without them, there would not be any camps for these children. They do this totally out of the goodness of their souls and are not paid a penny for doing it.
