Accomplishments Around the Camp - Fall 2009
The Camp had a joyous experience this past summer. We were able to have our first overnight campers. These campers were teenagers dealing with cancer. They were a great group of young people who look at life with the glass half full and live each day fully. They want all of the good times "normal kids" have and all of the experiences they can manage. We heard comments such as "this place is awesome" and "I can see the world around me". This is a testament to the value of Camp Horsin' Around.
The Dream is not Complete
The camp is well underway but not complete. We need to construct a dining hall/multipurpose building, a swimming pool, two more cabins, an office, caretaker's home, the lake and endow the camp. While this is an ambitious list we are confident we can get it done! Our camp family is large and happily it grows on a daily basis. With so many folks caring and sharing with us that old expression "many hands make light work" is certainly true.
As we continue our journey to make this camp all it can be for so many special kids we hope that you will join our family and finish the dream with us. Our goals are lofty but the rewards of helping these kids have the time of their lives with others who truly understand is the true meaning of sharing to help others.
It has been said, by a physician who cares for the children while they are at camp, "children come to camp to recharge their energy and their spirits for their continuing struggle with their illnesses and their future health". How special it is to be an enabler for these children.
Please join our family and help us finish the dream!
