camp hosts
Cleft Camp will be hosted by the owners of Kona Kona- Anna and Roy & Matt and Jenna (Anna’s sister).
Empowering kids and adults with cleft and facial differences- and their families- is near and dear to our hearts. Anna (also known as Dr. Anna) was born with a cleft lip and palate. After many surgeries, speech therapy and braces- she grew up to become a leader of a Cleft and Craniofacial Team- where she continues to work with families.
Whether the person with the facial difference, the parent, or the sibling- it is a journey. It is a journey that takes courage and perseverance to endure. It can also be a blessing in disguise- and that is worth celebrating!
We hope you can join us!! If you have any questions- please do not hesitate to email Anna at staykonakona@gmail.com or call 612-444-6640.
