Sun Camp Fund needs your help

Monday, July 31, 2000 | 9:11 a.m.

One 14-year-old boy longs to go to summer camp. But his mother is a single parent raising two children with disabilities, leaving her unable to send her children to camp or other outings.

Many children and their parents have written to the Sun Camp Fund telling warm and colorful tales of camp life and how the week away each summer made significant changes in their lives and provided wonderful opportunities they never imagined.

Sometimes it's the simple things, such as singing carefree songs with other children, cooking marshmallows around the fire and being among positive role models, that children remember fondly.
