"Where Scars Don't Matter"


2 of 9

To qualify for the camp, the youngsters must have spent at least four days in a hospital burn center. Although, the children scars vary, some can be hidden whereas others are visible all over the body, the children feel free here to just be. "It's a place where I can relate with other people," said LaMonica Agnew, 11. "I have learned people may talk about me, but if they don't talk to me, they have nothing to say," said Agnew, who plays hand games with her friend Katie Schuchardt.
