Youth Rally

42011 Youth Rally Summary From: Renee Visser RN, BSN, CWON, CCCN

(Pulled from WOCN Continence Forum, Jan. 30, 2011)

Hello all my fellow WOC Nurse Peers!
I want to send out a sincere request to share the web site and information on the Youth Rally camp that is held each summer for teens with bowel and bladder disorders. The camp is a wonderful, safe environment for them to learn more about their specific medical condition and meet others with the same issues they have. They make lifelong friends and feel accepted. We teach them skills to take back home with them to help them in school, careers and personal relationships.

The Youth Rally wants to help these youth and they have scholarships available and many of the various WOC Groups in local and regional areas will sponsor the teen. Many have never been away from home. They need assistance for air fare and the cost of the week's tuition.

Please, check out the website and see how much fun they have. The website will have the application for the campers and any WOC or RN's interested in volunteering at the camp. The kids all have a WOC assigned to them to help them during their week at camp. Please, share this info with any teens you may know or your local pediatrician and surgeons. Thank you in advance for helping us get the word out there!
