The CAFA camp in February 2025 was one of our largest yet. 52 campers were signed up, but unfortunately two from Arequipa had to cancel because of problems in transport. However the 50 that remained were treated to an amazing camp from start to finish! The six junior leaders helped the new campers in their colour groups get comfortable, and our adult cabin leaders quickly got to know and welcome their groups. These adult leaders are pictured here, and since all but one of them were either ANIQUEM staff or former ANIQUEM patients and campers, they were able to really connect with the younger campers.

Our program
Most of the kids who attend the CAFA camps have experienced bullying, isolation, feelings of shame and self-doubt, simply because they have burn scars. Our three day burn camps are specifically designed to counteract these negative feelings. The kids learn that they are not alone, that the scars are not their fault and that scars do not define who they are. As the leaders this year were all experienced with our camps, they were able to foster the best experience possible for everyone.
