Dear Winnipeg Ostomy Association,I had a great time at camp this summer and met a lot of new friends from all over Canada. I was Rookie of the Year for my team and I completed all of the challenges. A little scary at times but at the end of each challenge I could see how I don’t have to be scared, and that I can do just as much as any other child.
It was great having Pat (Cimmeck) meet me at the airport in Calgary, as I have never flown by myself before. All of the camp Leaders were very nice.
Thanks again for holding this camp because if I hadn’t gone to camp I wouldn’t know any other kids with ileostomies as I live in a very small town and am the youngest person in the area to have my large bowel removed because of ulcerative colitis. Again, the support was great.
Hopefully, I will be going back next year.
