Here, children are just children.

The camps run in two age groups — one for the little ones and one for teenagers. There is plenty of laughter and play, and alongside it, individual and group psychological therapy and creative workshops.

This is how the children and young people build a community of their own and, together, gather the strength to keep going. Their brothers and sisters are there with them — because they, too, live through their sibling’s illness in their own way and need support as well.

The camps are made possible by the Social Protection Fund, the International Women’s Club, Grand Hotel Bansko and many donors.
