Hoosier Burn Camp

Hoosier Burn Camp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing life-changing experiences for young people who have suffered the physical and emotional trauma associated with a severe burn injury.

Imagine a day where you could go and enjoy the carnival luxuries of Spinning Rollercoasters, Banana Splits and Dizzy Dragons. A day where it is OK to indulge in deep fried oreos, elephant ears and fresh dipped corn dogs. Drive Crazy Buses, Bumper Cars, Surfer Trains and Frog Hoppers or feel like a pilot and fly Helicopters. Take a ride on the Ferris Wheel and scream your lungs out on the Himalaya. Rack up some big points at the Skeeball or try your arm at the Speedball. We perfectly combine the classic Carnival nostalgia with the latest and greatest in Carnival entertainment!
