Every summer, Baton Rouge General's Regional Burn Center and Foundation
offer pediatric burn survivors the opportunity to attend Camp Catahoula.
Campers enjoy an action-packed week, from inflatable obstacle courses
and Relay Olympics to fishing and a fair complete with games and a DJ.
They’ll have the chance to both ride and groom ponies, do arts and
crafts, and join in various small groups for sharing their stories.
Camp Catahoula is staffed by volunteers from Baton Rouge General -- doctors,
nurses, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, and even
a chef – as well as the Baton Rouge Fire Department, Louisiana State
Police, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and Brothers
Keepers, a firefighters’ motorcycle club. Parents of young burn
survivors and adult burn survivors also volunteer at camp, which is free
for the kids to attend.
