Atlantic Regional Firefighters Burn Foundation

Helping burn survivors worldwide

The Atlantic Regional Firefighters Burn Foundation has been formed for the purpose of financially supporting camps that specialize in accepting children who are burn survivors. We assist in providing a life changing summer or winter camp experience, free of charge to all those who attend.

Children who are burn survivors may face unique physical & social challenges, and camp allows them the freedom to be a kid! Campers will feel empowered  to overcome hurdles they may face and the knowledge that they are never alone in the journey of healing.

The Atlantic Regional Firefighters Burn Foundation wishes to make as many of these positive opportunities available to as many survivors as possible while continuing to efficiently utilize the majority of funds raised to be directed towards camp, and not administrative costs.

Our Mission

The Atlantic Regional Firefighters Burn Foundation is established to provide economic support to the funding of burn camp(s) as directed by the Governing Board of Directors of this foundation.

Push Yourself

While surrounded by Firefighters, nurses and medical therapist, campers are given opportunities to push the boundaries of their everyday comfort zones.  Activities such as ropes courses and wilderness skills are used to build self-esteem and confidence levels in burn survivors who may struggle in these areas at home or in school.

Relax On The Lake

Many burn camps have programs that mirror the good old fashioned summer camp experience.  The children have the chance to spend time outdoors and enjoy themselves in a variety of activities including swimming, boating and hiking.  It is also a place many children can try fishing and archery for the first time.

Team Building

While these Burn camps are going on there are plenty of activities that emphasize team building. Team-building activities are fun, constructive ways to help burn survivors get to know each other, build trust, and learn to work together.
