Family Camp

In October of 2006, Camp BUCKO held our first Family Camp. It is Camp BUCKO’s mission to provide a fun, safe and caring camp program for pediatric burn survivors and we recognize how important it is to include their families.  Family Camp is an opportunity for families to participate in camp programs similar to those offered during our residential week of Camp BUCKO. Plans are underway for our next Family Camp weekend at our host camp, Cedar Ridge Camp.
