EUSTIS, Fla. - About 300 children boarded a bus headed to Eustis, Florida, Tuesday morning with a program called "Reaching Out to Kids with Cancer."
R.O.C.K. camp is an adventurous experience for children with cancer to attend summer camp without feeling "different from other kids" as the organization says.
The program is free of charge to the children who attend -thanks to various charities who donate throughout the year.
The children attending the summer camp will engage in traditional activities ranging from swimming to participating in a talent show.
