Dana Csonka is an adult now. When she was 8, her house caught on fire. The fire left burn scars(伤疤)over 18 percent of her body, including on her face, neck and arms. She got better and returned to school. Her classmates were mean, though. They made fun of her scars. "I didn't have any friends,she said.

    Her nurses at the hospital had a suggestion. They said she should go to a camp for kids who had been burned. She went there every summer for 10 years. It helped her feel better. She met kids who could understand what she went through.

    The burn camp started in 1988. Since then, it has been offering children with burn scars a week of relief from looking different. Campers go there to swim, play games and do many other things.

    Kevin Aeling is 14. This is his second summer at the camp. A year and a half ago, a terrible fire left scars over 25 percent of his body.

    At first, he was not sure if he wanted to go to the camp. "He said, 'I don't want people to stare at me,"' said his mother. "I said, sKev, it's a burn camp. Other people are there who have burns.'" He ended up loving it. After camp, his mother noticed a difference. He was no longer embarrassed about the special clothes he had to wear for his scars. He was more comfortable being himself.

    Every year, the Thursday of the camp week is Fire Truck Day. Fire trucks arrive, along with campers from previous(以前的)years, doctors and nurses, and family members. Campers can see fire trucks up close and talk with firefighters. Sometimes, they are the very firefighters who rescued the campers months or years earlier. Fire Truck Day allows them to see each other in a happy situation, which is always the campers 5 most unforgettable day.
