September 2017

Dear Parent(s):

We are now approaching our 2017 Camp SuperStars Sibling Retreat, which will take place on Saturday, October 28, through Sunday, October 29, 2017! This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to meet other siblings, to have fun and to process the many feelings and emotions that occur from the impact of childhood cancer in the family. Our goal is to assist you in emphasizing your child’s unique role to their family and to remind them of how much they are valued and loved.

We will be conducting our Sibling Retreat at a different facility this year. We will be doing an overnight at the Explora Children’s Museum! The address is: 1701 Mountain Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104. Drop-off will be at the Albuquerque Botanic Garden at 9:00am on Saturday, October 28. The address is 2601 Central Ave. NW, 87104.

This application includes the Camp SuperStar Sibling Retreat 2017 registration materials. You and your child(ren) need to complete the general information and consent forms. If you have more than one child attending please print copies of the packet and fill out a separate application for each child.

In order to attend:

1.)  You and your child must complete the entire application.

2.)  Any child attending the retreat MUST see a doctor and receive a doctor’s approval to attend.

3.)  Please make note of the dates and times!

Each year we request that you (parent or guardian) write a special letter called a Palanka letter – to your child expressing your thoughts, feelings and special hopes for them. We like to use this opportunity for your child to hear from your heart how much they truly mean to you. This letter is given to your child during the closing ceremony; where they are given special time to reflect on your special message. For new campers, we are asking that you keep this letter a surprise for the children.

In order to do so, please do one of the following:

ü  Mail the letters to “Camp Enchantment” at 12231 Academy Rd. NE #301-310 Albuquerque, NM 87111 no later than October 15, 2017.

ü  On Saturday, October 28th, bring them with you and discretely give them to a staff member

If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Raquel Luchini @ 505-944-6329 or

Thank you for your participation.

Sincerely Your Camp Super Stars Staff
