The Central Virginia Burn Camp is a free of charge, week-long summer camp dedicated to providing a special, fun, and safe experience for children who have sustained serious burn injuries. This camp offers the chance for these children to enjoy fun summer activities with others who have gone through a similar experience as they have.
The Camp’s positive and supportive environment helps to increase self-confidence and self-esteem as these young burn survivors experience both emotional and physical healing on their journey to recovery.
Many of the camp’s staff and counselors are former campers and these adults are crucial role models for our campers.
The camp is situated on 75 acres of wooded land at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia
Campers and staff sleep in comfortable cabins and meals are cooked by different firefighter locals throughout the week.
Camp activities include swimming, horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, sports, arts and crafts, team-building activities, campfires, Camp Olympics, a camp dance and the end of the week awards and variety show.
Our camp event runs for a full week each summer, generally in mid-June. Please call or see our web site for this year’s camp dates.
Our campers are children ages 7 – 17 that have been hospitalized for burn injuries.

The Foundation’s main efforts surround raising funds that support the Evans-Haynes Burn Center of VCU/MCV to provide the best burn care available for Firefighters in the Central Virginia Region. The Burn Foundation also supports programs that support burn survivors and burn prevention programs. This fundraising helps to meet the mission of providing burn prevention education and assisting burn victims through collaboration with area fire departments, healthcare institutions, and other community partners with interests in reducing burn injuries. Through these partnerships, the following are some of the Foundation’s accomplishments:

• Support for the Evans-Haynes Burn Center
• Purchase of a new burn shower
• Annual funding for burn physician fellowship
• Funding for staff training and ABA Conference attendance
• Burn Survivor Sunday sponsor
• Funding for remodeling of a waiting room, children’s toy room, and conference room

Another important focus, of efforts, is ongoing sponsorship of the Central Virginia Burn Camp. Held in in Charlottesville, Virginia, the camp is free to all participants. This camp gives juvenile burn survivors an opportunity to gather with peer survivors and to share similar memories and stories of survival. The Foundation has provided financial support, camp T-shirts and coats, food and cooks for the camp, and transportation. The Foundation is a major sponsor for Central Virginia Burn Camp’s off-site trips to places like Kings Dominion, Busch Garden, and Lake Anna State Park. For many of these children, this is the only opportunity in which they can bond and have fun with a group of peer burn survivors.
