Heading off to camp for the first time can be filled with a wide variety of feelings and nerves. And that is just for the parents! Now imagine sending your child with complex medical conditions off to camp for the first time...
Camp Korey strives to create an environment that is welcoming, feels like home, and creates a sense of belonging.
Throughout the week, campers lay their heads on a wide variety of colorful and fun pillowcases. Each pillowcase is handmade by the loving hands of volunteers, and it helps to create a homey and safe atmosphere for all our campers. After a big week of camp we want to remind each camper how special they are and how much they learned and grew during the week, so they get to take their pillowcase home with them and be reminded of camp all year long.
So, as you can guess, we go through a lot of pillow cases! If you are someone who sews, or knows someone that sews, go pick out some fun (and appropriate) fabric that you like and help keep the magic of camp going. Many people use one fabric for the main part of the pillowcase and another for the trim at the end.
