Camps for children with cancer have become increasingly popular over the last decade. As camps increase in longevity, addressing the death of former campers will become an important concern. To understand varying opinions on this topic better, the authors interviewed camp directors, camp counselors, campers, and parents about holding remembrance programs for deceased campers at a camp. The majority of campers and parents and the counselors who either had had cancer or had a sibling with cancer were in favor of holding remembrance programs at camp. In addition, they were in substantial agreement that older children should be involved in the decision whether to hold a remembrance program. Counselors who had no personal experience with cancer were uncertain about the beneficial effects of a remembrance program. The authors discuss the results in terms of the need to educate staff about the psychological and ethical aspects of including children in decision making and the need for camps to review the goals of the camp experience when deciding whether a remembrance program is appropriate. |
