Summer camps can help kids regain their self-esteem

Friday, June 16, 2000 | 9:29 a.m.

For most children, a mother's divorce and remarriage can be difficult. The change has caused one local 11-year-old girl to lose her self-esteem.

Her mother would like to see her go to summer camp to be with other children and release some of her tension. But the high cost of summer camp leaves some children behind each year.

Contributions to the Sun Camp Fund provides scholarships for children who otherwise could not afford to spend a week away at summer camp.

You can join these recent donors:

Frederick Alexander; Donald and Dianna Greenhalgh; R. Accetta, Michael Webster; Howard and Esther Freas; John S. Stetts; Robert and Helen Hall; Victor and Imogene Mistretta; Gerald and Amy Sue Brown; and Jane Fleming; Mildred Gomes; Carole and Arthur Irons; R.S. and Carma Hartman; Julia Catanzarite; Christopher Martin; Susan M. Larmouth; Ronald Barlow; Laura S. Rader; Willford and Katherine Anderson; and Diana L. Uwing.
