Participating Children

The NPO Pinocchio organizes yearly a crenotherapy camp in Spa for burned children aged between 5 and 16.

The selection is made on the basis of various parameters:

  • age
  • the level of seriousness of burns
  • the degree of the burns
  • the recovery phase (the crenotherapy is most efficient when cicatrisation is still in its active phase)
  • the socio-economic situation
  • the need to provide care
  • both for French and Dutch speaking children

The head physician of the Centre for burned children determines whether the child needs crenotherapy.
