ELLSWORTH — Growing up, kids just want to go to summer camp. When families face a cancer diagnosis, enjoying summer activities that others take for granted may be far from their minds.
Camp Hope, a partnership between Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center and the Bangor Region YMCA, is held at Camp Jordan in Ellsworth from June 17-21. This special week gives children a real summer camp experience, doing all the things they love, learning new skills, creating arts and crafts, paddling boats, going hiking and swimming, singing songs, and building campfires.
Camp Hope is made possible thanks to generous gifts made by donors and community businesses who support Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.
