The heart and soul of the Breast Cancer 3-Day exists within the confines of camp. A tent city populated by over 2,500 women and men, camp has all of the vital services. Sleeping quarters (tents), bathrooms (porta-potties), showers (in big truck trailers), kitchens (in big truck trailers), a dining room (in one honking huge tent), entertainment venues (including dancing and music in the dining tent, a place to rest in the 3-Day Cafe tent, and even a tent serving up hourly games of BINGO! Plus a full on-site medical services facility (the Medical Tent). It really is a city of its own. So, these photos will (hopefully) help show life at camp. |
