Volume 29, Number 31 Thursday, August 8, 2013 Hoosier Burn Camp Families Visit Michigan City by Wm. Halliar

The Michigan City Fire Department hosted a very special event during the week end of July 20 and 21. Michigan City’s beautiful lake front park, the zoo, splash pad and of course the beach were the scene of a wonderful two day adventure for the extraordinary young people and their families who belong to the Hoosier Burn Camp. The Hoosier Burn Camp Inc., with home base in Battle Ground, Indiana, was founded in 1997 to serve children and adoles- cent burn survivors in the state of Indiana. Over 70 burn survivors, ages 8 to 18 will participate in Hoo- sier Burn Camp activities this year.

All are especially appreciative of Mark Koopman, who they affectionately call “Koop.” He takes a personal role in each child’s life and often calls them when he knows that they are going through a dif- ﬁ cult time. “Koop” is a family man, a father of two sons, and brings his own family to events.

Mark Koopman Executive Director Hoosier Burn Camp Inc. Over the years the Burn Camp has been a source of support for over 200 burn survivors and their families. The camp becomes such a part of these survivors lives that when they reach their 18th birthday most take their place beside other older children and become camp counselors. The Hoo- sier Burn Camp is supported entirely by donations, which allow campers to attend at no cost to their families. The event held here on our lake shore was a “summer family gathering”, and families from every part of our state came out to join the fun.

According to Westphal, when people heard about the camp and the work that it does with children, the donations poured in. Westphal was especially thankful to the Michigan City Park Department and the Offi ce of the Mayor for waiving all of the fees for parking, the zoo and Splash Pad for the burn survivors.
