When Hodgkin’s Lymphoma struck Ethan Zemel of Melville at age 13, his family was distraught, but one summer camp gave him a chance to feel like a normal kid—remarkably before his remission.
Oceanside-based Sunrise Day Camp gives children with cancer a place to play that makes them feel normal. From the camp’s start on June 29 through its finish on Aug. 17, kids do all kinds of activities including music, drama, crafts and playground. The camp touts itself as the world’s first free summer camp of its kind.
