Me-One Weekend

So this guy that does RockMed posted about a Me-One Camp Challenge weekend.
It was the same weekend as Pride SF and a few other things too but I chose to volunteer for them in order to experience something different.
(I guessed that Pride would probably consist of mostly ETOH patients and dehydration, etc).

At Camp Challenge, adults with cancer / cancer survivors have the opportunity to spend valuable time with their family and friends, leaving the stressful routine of doctor visits and treatments behind.  This cost-free camp offers arts and crafts, singing, dancing, photos, sports activities, spa amenities, and much, much more in a unique and beautiful setting.   Camp Challenge is a place to laugh, cry, and embrace life; here, families can create memories they can treasure forever.

While we call it "CAMP", the accommodations are not tents.  We enjoy comfortable hotel style housing with private bathrooms for each family.  The staff at Mission Springs utilize a wonderful kitchen to make hearty and healthy buffet style meals that are sure to tantalize your taste buds!

One word: awesome.

Instead of doing RockMed, I volunteered as a family host. Basically I was assigned to a family to take care of all weekend and that pretty much meant to have as much fun with them as possible :-)

Can't wait to do it again next year.
