Summer camp allows children to escape city
Monday, July 24, 2000 | 9:53 a.m.
The foster mother of an 11-year-old boy says he is "such a good boy and he works hard in school."
But with their parents absent from their lives, children living in foster care sometimes feel like outcasts, excluded from life and suspicious of their future.
Summer camp is one way for children to leave behind their worries, get out of the city and make friends with other children in an upbeat environment.
"He needs the social interaction with other children at camp," said the boy's foster mother.
A camp scholarship from the Sun Camp Fund can provide such an opportunity. By joining other contributors to the camp fund, children throughout the valley have an opportunity to attend camp.
