Camp J.A.M. (Juvenile Arthritis & Me)
The 2006 edition of Camp J.A.M. was a great time for all of those who attended. Parents, siblings, and most importantly — kids with juvenile arthritis — gathered at the Solomon Episcopal Retreat Center in Robert, La., for a summer camp-style retreat. Click on any of the links below to see photos of the fun and fellowship these kids and families enjoyed thanks to the volunteers and donations to the Arthritis Association of Louisiana.
