"A place to call our own": The impact of camp experiences on the psychosocial wellbeing of children and youth affected by cancer - A narrative review.

CONCLUSION: This review demonstrates the potential ability of camp to buffer psychosocial losses for children affected by cancer. Addressing limitations, such as the lack of child-centered methodologies employed in camp settings, may not only help to guide future research on therapeutic recreation experiences for children with cancer, but also expand the evidence base for children living with other chronic illnesses and disabilities.
