Young Burn Survivors Take Over Coronado Beach

Burn camp survivors enjoyed a day field trip to Coronado.

Campers from all over the country came and soaked up the sun in Coronado at last week.

Camp Beyond the Scars, sponsored by the Burn Institute, consisted of a six-day retreat held at Oakbridge Camp near Ramona July 31-Aug. 5.

More than 70 children kayaked, swam and enjoyed a day at the beach. 

Perry Peake, the battalion chief of the Coronado Fire Department, came out to support and help out for the day.

“Almost half of the firefighters came out on their day off to volunteer for camp,” Peake said.

Sixteen Coronado firefighters enjoyed a beach day, including Jason Clements.

“We all just wanna have a lot of fun,” Peake said.

This is a great event. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make it a fun and enrichingRead More experience for my family. We need to get the word out about this helpful event in Coronado for the future. It was a learning experience for children and adults alike. I feel better now with my daughter riding her bike on the busy streets of Coronado. Thanks again to all of the Police Officers, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts and local volunteers.
