Summer Camp in West Chester Turns To Water Games To Keep Kids Cool
WEST CHESTER, Pa. (CBS) - Kids at a suburban summer camp for children with disabilities and chronic illnesses are finding ways to keep cool this week.
All the kids at Dragonfly Forest Camp in Chester County this week have asthma or some kind of respiratory disease, which makes it even more important for them to keep cool.
So how does the camp handle this week's heat wave (see related story)?
"We tend to turn everything into water activities where the kids are getting drenched and just enjoying themselves," says executive director Fred Weiner.
Daveevah, of West Philadelphia, is a camp counselor here.
"It's great," she said after getting a big bucket of water dumped on her. "Even though these kids have different sicknesses and stuff, they're normal kids. They're just trying to have fun."
