ConnectMed International Camp Cosmos
ConnectMed International, a local nonprofit dedicated to bringing our region’s gold standard of healthcare to resource-limited parts of the world, will host Camp Cosmos 2019, the 2nd annual free therapeutic and recreational day camp for children with craniofacial differences and their families.
Camp Cosmos launched in 2018 as the first day camp benefitting San Diego County’s craniofacial community, and garnered almost 200 camp participants at its inaugural event. Camp Cosmos aims to foster joy and self-confidence, and build relationships amongst kids, families and local care providers in the Southern California craniofacial communities. The day camp incorporates both open play and structured activities to help families undergoing similar experiences engage with one another and their clinical treatment teams outside the clinical setting. Activities will be facilitated by child and family therapists, nurses, doctors and other specialists who will lead self-esteem building and camaraderie-focused activities.
