Camp Mak-A-Dream is pleased to announce our newest program: the Inaugural Young Adult Brain Tumor Survivor Conference, or the Heads Up Conference (HUC). We are proud to partner with the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation in the planning and implementation of this Conference. HUC will take place August 2-6, 2008.
We expect approximately twenty participants from across the country to participate in this exciting experience. Best of all, the conference and travel to it are free of charge!
HUC is a special and unique conference offered to survivors of cancer who are between the ages of 16 and 30 and survived a brain tumor in childhood. There will be the opportunity to learn about options available to facilitate independent living and to gain employment. There will also be the opportunity to network with others from across the country who share similar day to day challenges.
This is not a camp, although there is plenty of fun to be had. There will be opportunities to swim, make incredible art projects, to participate in sports and recreation, and nature hikes. We will take advantage of the beautiful mountains of Western Montana as well, and travel to one of the oldest mining towns in the state and see a performance in the oldest operating theater in Montana.
For additional information contact Stacia Wagner at swagner@cbtf.org. We expect application materials to be available in March, 2008.
