Youth Rally Summer Camp Only A Few Months Away!
A supportive place for young people with bowel and bladder disorders
05/10/2012 flag

For one week a year, many young people coping with bowel and bladder disorders join together for an exciting summer camp called Youth Rally. This year’s camp will take place in Boulder, Colorado from July 9-14.

Youth Rally offers fun activities that help to build confidence and create positive bonds between young people who might feel isolated as a result of their medical conditions. After more than 30 years the camp is known as a welcoming community and campers often keep in touch throughout the year.

Great Comebacks® is proud to partner with Youth Rally to help spread the word about our Ina Brudnick and Comeback Kids™ award programs for young people. We’d also like to give a shout out to our Great Comebacks® recipients who volunteer as Youth Rally counselors!

Youth Rally can be an invaluable experience for many young people. If you know of someone who would like to attend this remarkable camp or would like to personally support Youth Rally, be sure to visit the website at http://www.rally4youth.org. The deadline to apply to this year’s camp is June 1, 2012.
