Friends for life found in camp

The mother of three children is seeking help with camp fees for her 8- and 11-year-old daughters.

"Camps can help children form lifelong relationships," the mother says.

"Children also can see and do things that they might never see or do living in a city. They will get the opportunity to become one with nature. They also will meet and enjoy other people to become more independent."

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.
