du as orcy and Katie said, and call her on the day and wish her happy birthday, or leave her a message sayin hapy bday, im so sorry i couldnt b there for it
itll show u care, bring a smile to her face/tear 2 her eye, nd banish ne thoughts she may hav regarding u as horrid its worked on me in a more stupid situ (boyf missed bday cuz in hospital! he did this nd i 4gave him ;)! )

make the best of a bad situation
like orcy said if ur friend is truely ur friend then she won't mind. she will accept that you need to do something that just happens to conflict with her birthday party. get her a small gift as a sorry and a Happy Birthday thing. And have fun at camp. i've never been to anykind of camp so good luck.

you need to tell her the truth. she has no reason to get mad, its not your fault your going. if she really is a good friend she wouldnt get mad. she would get mad though if she found out she were lying..and ive looked into fat camps before, and read a lot about them in magazines. they actually look pretty fun, and i bet it will be really helpful . good luck and have a ton of fun =)
