Boys look forward to camp

Parents of three boys want to send their sons to camp this summer, but the father is laid off during the summer.

The family saves to have enough money to get through the summer, but there just isn't enough for luxuries such as camp.

The mother says her 11-year-old son is excited about the possibility of camp while her other sons would like to go to day camp.

But, it's going to be a struggle, she says.

Sometimes it's simple things -- 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 him through his life.
