Summary

Camp Quality returned to Beaver Island June 14–17, 2002, for its second consecutive year. The program included eleven teenaged cancer patients and survivors, Lighthouse School lodging, aviation and natural-history activities, heritage and recreation visits, and support from the Beaver Island Youth Consortium. The August follow-up reports that the program was completed and describes its activities.

Evidence limits

The newspaper accounts do not identify individual participants or provide medical information; the August follow-up is a community report of the program, not an administrative or clinical record.
