A Dream, a Vision and a Legacy!
Kaylyn Elaine Warren
June 8, 1988 ~ March 13, 2007
Kay’s Kamp is the vision of Kaylyn E. Warren who was stricken with Leukemia at the age of 17. Her lifelong dream of running a Bed & Breakfast soon changed to running a summer camp for kids suffering from all types of childhood cancers. Kay knew first hand how cancer had stolen the normalcy of her young life. Every Child suffering from cancer is forced to mature before their time and must live a “new normal” existence that is anything but “normal”! When Kaylyn realized she would be unable to start the camp herself, she asked that her dreams and vision be fulfilled. Through a foundation established in her loving memory, The Kaylyn Elaine Warren Foundation (KEWF), a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in June of 2007 and is the proud sponsor of “Kay’s Kamp”
History
Not really knowing where to start, we began by simple fundraising. A golf tournament, family fun walk and Macy’s “Shop for a Cause” were all part of the 2007 events. Slowly but surely our name and cause was reaching the residents of Delaware and surrounding areas, but in reality we didn’t know too much about camping -especially camping for kids with cancer. Then a real blessing happened - Lisa Schmalbach contacted the foundation offering her services to help open Kay’s Kamp. Not only was Lisa an answer to our prayers, at the time she also had 16 years experience in oncology camping! After meeting with Lisa, the KEWF Board of Directors unanimously voted to offer her the position of Kay’s Kamp Executive Director, which she graciously accepted. Thanks to Lisa, Kay’s Kamp opened August 8-15, 2009.
