Burn Treatment Center Community Programs

The Burn Treatment Center gives back to the community in an effort to not only support its past patients, but to prevent serious burns from happening in the future. 

Miracle Burn Camp

Miracle Burn Camp is a camp for children ages 8-18 who have experienced a burn or any other traumatic injury that ended up requiring skin grafting. This weeklong camp is designed to provide a fun summer camp experience in a non-threatening environment for children with burns.

Safe Start Burn Prevention

The Safe Start Burn Prevention Program is a free program for third-graders designed to teach children how to prevent burn injuries and keep themselves (and their families) safe.

School Re-entry Program

Returning to school following a burn injury can be overwhelming and stressful for children with burn injuries and their families. Our team of experienced school re-entry experts helps reduce anxieties and smooth the transition from the hospital back to the classroom.

Young Adult Burn Survivor Retreat

This is a weekend retreat designed to help transition burn survivors who participate in Miracle Burn Camp into their adult lives. Late adolescence is an already tough time, but this retreat is designed to help ease the transition for those who have suffered significant traumatic injuries.

Miracle Burn Camp of Iowa

Miracle Burn Camp began in 1995 as a one-day outing for children treated for burns at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa. It grew into a week-long event and moved to Camp Foster on East Lake Okoboji in Iowa. The Burn Treatment Center, which provides care for pediatric patients at University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with the St. Florian Fire and Burn Foundation, has sponsored children from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Illinois to attend camp since 1997.

Camp is free for children ages 8-18 who have experienced a burn injury or other traumatic injury or wound requiring skin grafting.

Miracle Burn Camp is conducted by a staff of professional firefighters, burn survivors, burn care professionals, and YMCA camp experts. These volunteers serve as camp counselors and activity leaders.

Summer camp is a special experience for children. It is an opportunity to become independent from their parents, make new friends, explore different experiences, and enjoy the great outdoors.

Children who attend Miracle Burn Camp at Camp Foster experience the fun of camp and have the opportunity to be themselves in a non-threatening environment. They meet others who have experienced similar feelings, fears, and concerns.

Camp Foster's counselors and volunteer staff direct campers in outdoor programs including:

  • Horseback riding
  • Swimming
  • Canoeing
  • Sailing
  • Archery
  • Fishing
  • Physical challenges
  • Arts and crafts

Miracle Burn Camp Goals:

  • Provide a fun summer camp experience in a non-threatening environment for children with burns.
  • Provide esteem-building opportunities through physical activity and attainment of personal goals.
  • Allow staff and patient interaction away from the intensity of painful procedures at the hospital.
