Children with Kidney Disease Enjoying Week of Camp

Many children with kidney disease will forget about the condition this week.

They won't stop taking medication or experience some miracle cure, but they will have a week of fun at Camp Copneconic.

The camp is for children 8 to 16 who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Children with CKD often have limited options for outdoor activities because of their need for dialysis treatment or medical attention. The NKFM offers fun activities the kidney patients can enjoy at camp, including swimming, boating, horseback riding, zip-lining and more. So of the children must take breaks to receive treatment.

Here is a look at the action.
