Children’s Skin Disease Foundation
Children with skin diseases don’t get to experience childhood in the same way as children without skin diseases. In this Community Spotlight, we sit down with Francesca Tenconi, the founder and executive director of the Children’s Skin Disease Foundation to talk about their program Camp Wonder! Camp Wonder is a place where children get to be kids, without the burden of their disease taking center stage. Camp Wonder’s unique approach allows children to put their childhood first and gives their parents and siblings a much-needed rest from doctor’s appointments, sleepless nights, and all the other burdens that come with skin disease. At Camp Wonder children participate in all of the “normal” camp activities – swimming, arts and crafts, games, dances, and so much more all while under the care of fantastic camp staff and medical professionals. The Childhood Skin Disease Foundation beautifully highlights the number one reason why research is so important – research being done today, provides new therapies in the future and gives children the opportunity to be kids!
