Summer camp can help a child in need

Friday, May 19, 2000 | 9:43 a.m.

One young Las Vegas girl is known to her teachers as an outstanding volunteer in the pre-kindergarten classroom. She assists daily in material preparation and breakfast, then returns at lunchtime to read to the children.

She does so much for others, yet she asks for nothing, school officials say. At such a young age she is seeking direction, but also needs to have fun in her life.

A week at summer camp where she can sing campfire songs, roast hot dogs, make friends and play games could be a refreshing break for a young girl.
