More than two dozen kids are making lasting memories.
TALLAPOOSA, Ala. - It’s called “Camp Conquest,” and the children all have one thing in common, they are burn survivors.
From tubing down Lake Martin to playing catch in the pool, campers at Camp Conquest have the time of their lives while knowing their needs are being cared for. “When you suffer a burn, it’s really a lifelong process of dealing with the burn injuries, you know, going through their acute phase of care,” said President of The Pediatric Burn Foundation Scotty Roberson
It’s a process these children know all too well. All of them have spent time in the hospital receiving treatment for severe burns. “We have a great relationship with the firefighter’s community who are here as counselors and support and cooking and doing all types of other roles that help support our camp,” said Roberson.“It’s really fulfilling for us to see the kids from the point of where they were injured, burned and injured and you know, in pain and struggling with the activities of daily living to the point that they are thriving and improving, really making lifelong friendships,” said Roberson.
