One of the most vital relationships that a child can develop is the one between siblings. There are experiences that occur in these young lives that are only realized by children of the same household. When separation occurs, the link between brothers and/or sisters is stretched, becoming fragile and even broken. The same issues plague children who have, fortunately, been reunited with their siblings and are trying to live as a family once again. But JISU believes that the sibling relationship is capable of being mended, restored and strengthened.
Camp JISU brings together brothers and sisters (whether biologically or environmentally related) to reunite in a safe, neutral, week-long (5 day) camp. In this setting, the children experience old memories and create new ones in mending and strengthening their bond for their life ahead.
