But the real winners are the children who will be able to go to R.O.C.K where they get to feel like normal kids again. At camp, there are counselors, health care providers and volunteers who make sure that every one fits in. Many are cancer survivors themselves. Some of the activities that the children enjoy include swimming, fishing, horseback riding and arts and crafts. They also learn about independence and coping skills.
Optimist Clubs are involved in the Childhood Cancer Campaign where they help raise awareness for pediatric cancer research. They also provide services as needed in their local communities. We believe th Optimist Club is making a difference on Marco Island for young cancer patients and survivors.
