Denmark: The Frog – Red Cross Summer camp
Camp Frog’s biggest goal is to provide 65 vulnerable children with holiday memories they will never forget. Many of these children experience time and time again coming back to school after the summer holiday feeling left out when classmates can share their holiday experiences. At the same time, the Frog’s volunteer adults give the children a lot of much-needed care and act as good role models that the children can look up to and reflect on.
