twitterPolite boy deserves to go to camp
Tuesday, May 15, 2001 | 11:05 a.m.
A 9-year-old boy wants to go to camp this summer, but his parents have recently separated and they're afraid they won't be able to send him this year.
His mother says the changes have been tough on him. Her son loves the outdoors, but has never been to camp.
"He is very polite and sweet and considerate of other people's feelings," she says. "He really deserves to go to camp."
Sometimes simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing around a campfire with other children, or being around camp counselors who are positive role models, are the memories a child carries 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.
