At camp, scars don’t matter, said Scotty Stokes. He is the founder and director of the Oklahoma Firefighters Burn Camp, a five-day summer camp where kids who have suffered burns or other traumatic events that have left scars can escape finger-pointing and name-calling and act just like any other child.
“It lets them be the popular kid for the week,” Stokes said. This summer marks the camp’s 11th year, and this year’s burn camp runs Aug. 12-16.
Located at Dry Gulch U.S.A., just north of Pryor, the camp is sponsored by the Tulsa Firefighters Educational Clowns, an organization of volunteers who promote safety to children through clowning.
