Sun Camp Fund can give opportunities to children

Thursday, July 5, 2001 | 11:25 a.m.

Many parents seek out the Sun Camp Fund's help because they want their children to experience the outdoors and all of the opportunities that camping provides.

The mother of a 7-year-old boy says she wants him to go to camp "to experience something that he will not get a chance to do."

She says camp will allow him to get to know more people and "experience responsibility without having a parent around."

Sometimes simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire and spending time around camp counselors who are positive role models are the memories that a child will carry with her through the rest of her life.

By joining contributors to the Las Vegas Sun Camp Fund you are making a difference in a child's life.

Some recent contributors:

Robert J. Yeager; R&E Taylor Family Trust; Marlene Fuller; June B. Brandon "In memory of Richard"; William and Margaret Frederick; LND Construction; and Joann and David Richard.
