As I was flipping through the pages of the Review Journal in Vegas this morning, I caught a notice in the morning daily making a pitch for donations to raise funds for kids to attend summer camp.
Because of the "Summer Camp Fund" sponsored by the Sun newspaper, approximately 1100 disadvantaged kids will have the the chance to experience companionship with kids their own age and the joy of an up-close outdoors encounter with nature away from the mean streets of the city.
"This is a new experience for kids who have never seen the moutains just outside our city," liaison Julie Doyle beamed (spokesperson for Potosi Pines Camp fund).
The notice triggered memories of my own two-week summer camp excursions to Camp Wabanaki when I was growing up in Toronto many moons ago.
In fact, I was inspired to pen a post on the childhood memory last year.
