On the afternoon of April 7, Police from the Inner West Patrol Group and their Volunteers in Policing had the privilege of being able to participate in Camp Crystal 2018. Camp Crystal supports the families of children aged between 1 to 16-years-old, suffering from childhood cancer.
Each year, Childhood Cancer Support holds a free camping getaway for families of children who are presently facing or have faced childhood cancer, regardless of what stage they are currently at. Some of the families may have children who are newly diagnosed, some children maybe in remission, long-term survivors and others maybe parents or siblings of those who have passed away as a result of cancer.
The camp is run over a three day long weekend, filled with fun activities suitable for the whole family. Camp Crystal is a week-end escape for families to recharge and remind themselves that there is a life to be lived outside
