The Central Virginia Burn Camp was established in March of 1994 by the Charlottesville Professional Firefighters Association, providing a fun, safe, and exciting summer camp for young burn survivors. The Camp now begins it's 12th year, since it's inception firefighters from across the Commonwealth and numerous organizations have assisted in making the Central Virginia Burn Camp a success.
