Medical Staff Testimonials

"Camp Oasis is a chance for me to see kids with IBD, not patients with IBD."

"I am a pediatric gastroenterologist who also has Crohn's disease. I come to camp as a counselor so that I can show kids firsthand that having IBD doesn't make you different and doesn't slow you down. I enjoy listening to the kids talk about their disease and correcting their misconceptions. The kids teach me how to educate my patients better when I get home. I also love seeing my patients in a different light...and I think they like seeing me that way as well."

"It is a wonderful opportunity to meet some really brave and courageous kids. I am honored to be part of a group that has committed to work together to provide a great medical support system for the kids and their families."

"As an IBD nurse by trade, it was wonderful to see the kids just having fun and not being patients. They were very inspiring."

"Camp Oasis is a great opportunity to help others, and I have to admit I get a lot out of it, too. It's an exhausting week, but in the best way possible."
