hearts with "warm fuzzies,” notes of love
and encouragement tucked inside deco-
rated paper mailbags hanging in the din-
ing hall.
They also get warm fuzzies by inter-
acting with camp founders and resident
"grandparents," Harry and Sylvia
Granader of Beverly Hills. It was Harry's
dream to start a camp for kids with can-
cer and he found ample room on his
14,000-acre ranch amid draft horses;:
cattle, roaming buffalo and gently
rolling hills.
The Granaders eat all their meals With
the campers and participate in many
activities. Both have become adept at
dealing loaded hands of blackjack during
Las Vegas night.
"The kids look up to them; they are
respectful and want to be around them,"
says Cindy Cohen of West Bloomfield, a
former child life specialist at St. Joseph
Mercy Oakland in Pontiac who volun-
teered at camp in 2003.
For one week in the wilds of
Montana, these kids — and their sib-
lings who have a week devoted to them
as well — can put cancer in the back-
ground and just be kids.
"Cancer doesn't define them, and they
don't want it to," says Jennifer Benton of
Children's Oncology Camp Foundation,
the Missoula-based nonprofit that oper-
ates the camp. "They gain tools and
friendships so they can go home and live
more fully."
And they can take the positive rela-
tionships and experiences with them for-
ever.
Harry ends each weekly camp session
with a heartfelt speech to the campers.
He says it generally goes something like
this: "I am amazed to see so much pas-
sion, understanding, loyalty and love for
each other. Always have a positive men-
tal attitude and don't give up. May all
your dreams come true." ❑
