CAMP CELEBRATE is a weekend camping experience for children and adolescents who have survived burn injury, most of whom have been treated at the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center. Started in 1982 as the first of its kind in the United States, and possibly in the world, Camp Celebrate is a unique therapeutic experience designed to enhance each camper’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth. Volunteers from across the state, including firefighters and Jaycees, join the Burn Center staff in providing the campers a fun and enriching experience.

The very first camp for burn survivors in the United States, this program is designed to address the psychosocial implications of living with burns for campers 7-15 years old. Activities include a mix of “good old-fashioned camp fun” and the opportunity to talk about and build skills for living with burn scars. Teen burn survivors ages 16-18 years old are invited to apply for the Counselor in Training program. Volunteers to serve as counselors, program staff, counselor in training mentors, and logistics assistants are need. Please see volunteer “job desriptions”. Daily and weekend-long opportunities available.

Also take part in the FIRE TRUCK PARADE!!!
