“While my physicians prevented me from dying (for which i

am incredibly grateful), fd helped teach me how to live.”– chucky

“first descents has been the most amazing thing that has

happened in my life since cancer-if not my whole life. i recom-mend this camp to everyone i know with cancer. i get goose-bumps just thinking about all the amazing bonds i’ve made

within just the first day of knowing everyone! i felt more com-fortable there than i ever have in my entire life. i’m absolutely in love with fd and would one day like to become a counselor!

this experience has changed my life forever! the best thing about fd is that they push you in kayaking no matter what

you’re skill level is. i look forward to going back next year!!! :) thank you, fd, for the best time of my life!”

“What i’ve enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... meeting other young survivors and bonding

with them in such a supportive environment that only a camp can bring about.”
