Shared Collection for May: Camp Viva

May 24, 2017 by Firefly

This Sunday’s collection will be shared with Camp Viva. Camp Viva, located at the Ramapo Anchorage for Children in Rhinebeck, NY, is a unique year-round program for children and families in Westchester County infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. Through Viva’s week long sleep away camp experience and its year-round follow-up program, Camp Viva provides respite, medical supervision, support, recreation and education to prevent the further spread of HIV. Respite care significantly helps reduce stress and provides a strong emotional base for working through HIV-related issues. The summer retreat, founded in 1995, makes this possible for families who would not otherwise have a chance to escape the daily burdens of their illness; while the year-round follow-up program helps families get the support and educational information they need to live more healthfully and to become strong community advocates for good preventive behavior.
