BRIDGEPORT — When is a water slide not just a water slide? When it’s being used by children who have survived severe burns. For those kids, the simple act of wearing swim trunks without a shirt or climbing up a ladder to use a slide is a tremendous act of bravery, said Steve Lupinacci, director of the Arthur C. Luf Children’s Burn Camp. The camp, which takes place during the summer on 176 acres in the northern Connecticut town of Union, allows children 8 to 18 who have suffered life-threatening burn injuries to engage in a variety of activities from water slides to archery to theater.
