Periwinkle brought 186 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2014. Campers came from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Many would not have the means to attend a summer camp even if they were well. Periwinkle provides clothing, bedding and toiletries for any camper in need. Sad faces turned bright in a week packed with a month's worth of amazing experiences. With the help of more than 200 enthusiastic volunteers, cancer was forgotten, children realized they were not alone in their circumstances, siblings felt loved and parents had an entire week to address their own emotional healing. 183579 In its 16th year, Camp YOLO (You Only Live Once) addresses the unique challenges faced by adolescents living with cancer, renal, cardiac or HIV-related illnesses. While most teens are worrying about how many text messages they can send, teens with serious illnesses are confronting very real life and death issues and seemingly unending hospital routines. For two weekends each year, these young people have a chance to rejuvenate with others who understand their struggles, anxieties and fears. Campers learn teamwork and leadership skills and by the end of a fun packed and emotion filled weekend, they leave knowing they are not alone and they have what it takes to keep fighting their illness. Over 220 campers attended the April/September camp sessions, along with approximately 60 dedicated volunteers, each session. 109588 Monthly Periwinkle Days at the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers with special performances (dance, music, theater, visual arts) by professional artists from Young Audiences of Houston and/or arts & crafts activities facilitated by Periwinkle volunteer.In 2014, Periwinkle's Long Term Survivor program included a weekend retreat and opportunities for teen and young adult survivors to get together to share experiences, learn life skills and give back to the cancer community. It also included Celebration of Life, an annual event for cancer survivors. The event brings together newly diagnosed families with former patients to share stories of survival. In February / September 2014, Periwinkle held its bi-annual Family Camp. This program allows families to get away from the hospital routine, forget about their child's illness, create cherished family memories and meet other families who understand the stresses they are experiencing due to a child's cancer diagnosis.
