Camp Dream Street 2006, 2007

Over 125 children attended Camp Dream Street in 2006, a day camp for children with cancer and blood disorders. The children, from a variety of ethnic group, come from both suburban and inner city area in New York and New Jersey.

"They did have fun! One of the highlights of the week was your arrival. With your looms and colorful yarns in hand, each child found their own rhythm of expression. And the weaving projects they created together were awesome. You provided a great experience for all of our campers and volunteers. Thank you for coming to Camp Dream Street and sharing your wonderful gift with us.   (Lisa Robins, Director, JCC on the Palisades)
