11-year-old girl wants to spend time in nature

For an 11-year-old girl who has never spent time outside of Las Vegas, nature is something she only sees in books and on television.

The only trips she has ever been on are school field trips. A week at summer camp would be a real eye opener for her, those around her say.

You can help send girls like this to escape the fast pace of inner-city living for a week by joining recent contributors to the Sun Camp Fund:
