Summer camp just what youngster needs

Friday, June 15, 2001 | 11:14 a.m.

A mother says her 11-year-old son would have a better transition to middle school this fall if he could go to summer camp.

He has never been to camp before, and his mother says she thinks he would benefit from spending time with children his own age.

Sometimes it's simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire and being around camp counselors who are positive role models, that are the memories a child carries with her through life.

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