Saturday, June 14th started out beautifully, as the chapter
set up for its inaugral "Take Steps" walk. Over 300 eager
walkers braved the heat and humidity, and arrived for the
festivities, only to be turned away as an impending electrical
storm approached and abruptly ended the event.
Our Chapter would like to extend its heartfelt thanks and
appreciation to each individual who attended or raised funds
for our mission. Without your efforts, we would not have been
able to raise in excess of $100,000!
We look forward to your involvement in our 2009 walk.
The date of that event will be announced in July.
Once again, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your Maryland/Southern Delaware Chapter Staff
The Facts & Faces of Crohn's and Colitis
Free Educational Seminars In 2008, our chapter will be presenting a series of newly designed
educational offerings that will span many topics regarding both
pediatric and adult patient issues. These programs will be described
as the planning for each is completed. Keep a watchful eye on this site's Highlight Section for details
of each seminar. A Special "Thank You" is extended to all of the medical practitioners
who are giving of their time and talents to present these educational
programs. In addition, the chapter would like to offer its heartfelt
thanks and appreciation to the following pharmaceutical companies,
who have graciously contributed to making these programs possible,
so that we may present them to you at no charge.

August 18, 2008 - August 23, 2008
Camp Oasis August 18 - 23, 2008 Registration Closed A Life Changing Experience: At CCFA Camp Oasis,
we provide a sanctuary where kids with Crohn's disease or
ulcerative colitis are not defined by their illness. Because all the
campers (and many of the adults)have Crohn's or colitis, kids
can leave their disease behind and focus on just having fun.
At every turn, they can try something new. They can hear stories
that sound familiar and grow comfortable sharing their own. A Supportive Community: CCFA Camp Oasis provides: * 24-hour medical supervision by physicians, nurses and
other healthcare professionals who are experienced in
treating children with Crohn's and colitis and ensure that
campers follow the medical regimen prescribed by their
doctors back home. * Dedicated and understanding counselors, many of whom
have Crohn's or colitis themselves, who are carefully
screened & trained. * An enviroment where campers can feel comfortable sharing
their experiences and letting their true selves shine through. A Fun Schedule: CCFA Camp Oasis offers activities for every
interest including swimming, boating, individual and team sports,
ropes course,arts and crafts, drama, music and outdoor adventure.
The schedule also allows plenty of time for campers to relax and
share the best medicine of all: Laughter! Combined, these elements
create a truly unique place where everyone takes strength in one
another, and learns that while there may not yet be a cure for
Crohn's or colitis, there's plenty of hope for a happy future.
