Camps for children with cancer have existed for many years in the USA, Canada, France and Ireland. At present, new camps are started in Italy and Hungary.
We are in close contact with the "Hole In The Wall Gang Camp" near Hartford, Ct. (USA) and the "Barretstown-Camp" near Dublin (Ireland) - both founded by the actor Paul Newman. Every year, some German children with cancer travel to these camps. However, the group can only be small and the language barrier is often a severe set-back.
