Kids’ Camp Rainbow taking applications

ELLSWORTH – The American Cancer Society’s Camp Rainbow summer program for children who have cancer will be held in Maine June 15-21 at Bangor YMCA’s Camp Jordan.

Camp Rainbow is a special place where kids can just be happy and fun-loving again. Children in treatment for cancer as well as those who are up to 10 years post-treatment are eligible to attend.

American Cancer Society camps combine the traditional softball, swimming and s’mores with a medical staff prepared to meet the special needs of campers who are being treated for cancer. Caring counselors lead activities tailored to different age groups, and medical professionals are available 24 hours a day.
