Burn Advocates Network (BAN) is a nonprofit organization that supports burn survivors as they face the challenges of recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration. The organization operates three pediatric burn camps and a burn care network. BAN was founded in 2008 and expanded its international activity following the Haiti earthquake, which left an estimated 1,000 burn survivors without proper care. Based in Teaneck, New Jersey, Burn Advocates Network operates three pediatric burn camps: Today there are approximately 60 burn camps worldwide, 31 of them based in the United States and registered at the International Association of Burn Camps. Burn camps typically include accommodation, offer various activities such as arts and crafts, cooking sessions and drumming circles, and are tuition-free for campers. The age of participants varies from 6-18 and the number of participants from 15 to 100. Several academic studies have demonstrated that burn survivors who participated in burn camps experienced decreased isolation, improved self-esteem and improved social skills. More information...
