His mother, Carol, said
Camp Mak-A-Dream helps
the family members of can-
cer patients by providing a
short break from the constant
care of their relatives.
"It can be very stressful for the
family to deal with someone in
that condition. It's a comfort to
know that they're in good hands
when they're away."
Parents don't join their chil-
dren at the camp, but a medical
escort accompanies groups of
campgoers who take joint flights
out west.
Now semi-retired, Granader
owned several McDonald's
restaurants in the Downriver
area. He bought into the fran-
chise early, during the 1960s, and
his chain of stores enjoyed con-
siderable growth in the ensuing
years. About eight years ago, he
turned the lucrative operation
over to his son.
Granader's decision to found
Camp Mak-A-Dream stemmed
from his involvement in Ronald
McDonald House. He served as
a board trustee for the renowned
children's organization and
helped establish Ronald McDon-
ald houses at Children's Hospi-
tal in Detroit and Mott Children's
Hospital in Ann Arbor.
Said Miller, "We hope what
we're doing here in Michigan will
serve as a role model for other
chapters. We've got guests com-
ing from all over the nation. This
is a nationwide effort and there
are even plans to make it inter-
national." ❑
Ha rry
Granader
would follow.
Mr. Granader said about $3
million is needed to start an en-
dowment for Camp Mak-A-
Dream.
"We'd like to add a couple of
cabins at the camp and have a
pool of money for transportation
costs," he said. "The Detroit
metro area is a good place for
fund-raising because there's more
people here than in the entire
state of Montana. The competi-
tion for fund-raising is unbeliev-
able."
Five week-long sessions are
held each year for cancer patients
at Camp Mak-A-Dream. About
40 guests attend at a time.
Situated in Gold Creek, the fa-
cility offers a host of group activ-
ities, including swimming, scuba
diving, horseback riding, boat-
ing, archery, and craft and dra-
ma classes.
An infirmary, a staff of med-
ical volunteers and a helicopter
pad for emergency hospital runs
ensure that the medical needs of
the patients are met.
Though most camp guests are
children, there are also sessions
for adults and even the siblings
of the patients.
Jeffery Rembor, a 17-year-old
cancer patient from Brighton, at-
tended the first camp session in
1995. He's been back twice since
and says the atmosphere of the
place is very therapeutic.
"It means so much because
you know everyone else there
had their life threatened just like
you," he said.
