Tutoring & Counseling
Tutoring
Because cancer patients can miss a great deal of school due to diagnosis and treatment, they are often in need of tutoring to maintain their grades. In addition, the emotional stress and isolation felt by the siblings in the family may cause them to fall behind in school as well. Therefore, Kids 'n Kamp provides tutoring services - free of charge - for all children in the family.
When requested by families, educational evaluations can also be provided through Kids 'n Kamp by the Childrens Hospital Guidance Center. The testing takes place at the center and is paid for by Kids 'n Kamp.
Counseling
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, several things often happen. The patient child endures fear, pain and isolation; the siblings feel guilt, isolation and fear of losing their brother or sister; and the parents deal with potential loss of a child, marital stress, financial burden and guilt. Kids 'n Kamp provides free counseling services to families to help overcome these hurdles as they arise. These sessions are arranged for the whole family or any individual who is in need of counseling.
