Research reveals the healing power of cancer camp NEW
“Cancer camp, like the Island of Misfit Toys, offers

cancer camp plays in the healing and recovery of
children and their families. Laing maintains that,
far from a luxury, cancer camp should be considered
a psychosocial intervention for children and
families facing this disease.
