The summer family camp for kids with TM, ADEM, ON and NMO will be held from August 19 to August 24, 2007 at Victory Junction Gang Camp. The camp is for kids with these neuroimmunologic disorders who are 7 - 15 years old and their siblings and parents. The maximum capacity of the camp for our week is 32 families. We currently have about 30 families who have applied from around the world. If you have an interest in coming to camp in 2007, you will need to send in an application immediately.
There are two applications that you will need to fill out and submit to the camp:
http://www.victoryjunction.org/aa_apply/apply05_application.html
There is a medical section of the application that will need to be filled out by your doctor. Please send in your portion of the application as soon as you have it completed. Do not wait for the physician section; that portion can be sent in later. There could be cancellations, but at the present time, there may be only two openings available for the 2007 camp.
Your point of contact at Victory Junction Gang Camp regarding the application process is Kristin Wolbert. Kristin can be reached at: (336)495-2002; her email address is kwolbert@victoryjunction.org.
Details about the application process, travel arrangements and the Victory Junction Gang Camp may be found on the VJGC web site and also in articles that have been published in previous newsletters and journals. Please refer to the TMA newsletter archives for this information.
If you are interested in coming to VJGC TMA family week, but are not able to do so in 2007, please get in touch with me (ssiegel@myelitis.org) and I will be sure to add you to our list for recruiting purposes. Victory Junction Gang Camp has committed to holding a TMA family camp every other year.
