Summer camp can bring kids together

Tuesday, May 2, 2000 | 10:42 a.m.

Living in foster care can be pretty lonely for a 14-year-old girl who sees her friends going home to their families in the evening.

The teen is described by those around her as a friendly girl who would benefit greatly from peer interaction and activities in a camp setting with her sister.

Summer camp brings together children from all different backgrounds. It creates new friendships and lifelong memories.

You can help send disadvantaged children to camp by joining these latest contributors to the Sun Camp Fund:

Jesse H. and Rosemon P. Ellison; Mandalay Resort Group; Mikohn Gaming Corp.; Ben and Shirley Druckerman; Del Webb Communities Inc.; American Pacific Corp.; A-1 Rubber Stamp and Engraving; Barrick Goldstrike Mines; Catherine and Dwight Mahan; and Jeanne F. Block.

Timran Trust; Charlotte and James Hill "In memory of Gail Yessenow"; Las Vegas OPTI-MRS CLUB; Patricia L. Lehrter; Virginia F. Bohannon; Jerry and Virginia Brown; Dr. Elias F. Ghanem; Faith A. Atkinson; Louis and Margaret Mezza; and Ray and Doris Weingart.
