WMAR-2 News Baltimore: Campers with critical illnesses celebrate life this week at Pikesville camp

Behind the gates at this home in Pikesville is pure simcha. Simcha is Hebrew for joy and happiness. And that's what Camp Simcha Without Borders is all about. It's Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic's day camp for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Talya Shoshani of Silver Spring is one of the campers.
