Kids Kamp Carnival Gives Children
a Great Escape

For many children, a visit to the hospital is not a pleasant one. So, on Sunday, April 13, the Huntsville Hospital Foundation Leadership Council gave children a fun reason to visit! These high school volunteers held a carnival at Kids Kamp, a playground located just outside the cafeteria at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children. Children who visit the hospital regularly were invited to attend, as well as patients who were on the Pediatric Unit. Some children who were visiting sick siblings or parents even came to play and pass the time. Before the carnival, the Leadership Council planted flowers and spruced up the playground. It all resulted in a fun afternoon for some children who really deserved it!
