“The week of Camp Tiger is truly a wonderful week for our campus that provides an exciting and fun-filled opportunity for children with disabilities to experience new activities and social interaction with their peers,” a press release stated. “Campers receive individual attention from camp counselors to ensure this event is safe and engaging for every participant.”
The camp is hosted by first and second-year LSU Health Shreveport (LSUHS) medical students.
“Throughout the week, over 70 campers and 120 volunteers are participating in a variety of activities in the Shreveport community, such as trips to Hot Wheels of Wonder Skating Rink, Sci-Port Discovery Center, and more,” the release stated. “LSUHS extends thanks to the numerous vendors and individuals who donate funds and in-kind services throughout the year to make Camp Tiger possible. We are proud that since this program began in 2000, no child attending has ever needed to pay.”
The camp is free of charge for all and will be held from Monday, June 2, to Friday, June 6, ending with its annual Family Day, where campers, their families, and counselors participate in celebrations to close the camp.
