They make sure the camper makes the most of his experience at camp and has a good time â€" and in the months before camp, they are carefully selected. Early in June, the two meet for the first time and the companion tries to become familiar with the child‘s famâ€" ily and illness. Once they arrive at camp, they do everything together.

Each year, a retired couple from Burlington volunteer to be the camp‘s resident grandparents, giving out hugs and encouragement to all the children.
