Teenagers Help Camp Easter Seal Summer Program Those persona who voice blanket Indictments of teen ager have never visited Camp Faster Seal when things are In full swing during June, July and August. That's the word of Richard L. Yost, president of the Oregon Society for Crippled Children and Adults, which operatea the unloue summer camp for phys ically handicapped children and adults. The camp is on North Uike of Ten Mile Lakes, near K4-edsport. According to Yost, 57 teen agers volunteered their services during the last year, helping In the kitchen, pushing wheel chairs, making beds and being "generally helpful." "They do a tremendous Job, and always with a smile," Yost observed. "We couldn't get along without them. And they Include boys as well as girls. Camp Easter Seal, architec turally designed to accommo date persons In wheel chairs, on crutches or wearlnc braces, holds 5 sessions of 10 days each through the summer months, with each session limited to cer tain age groups. Fishing, swimming, boating and wiener roasts are the most popular activities, but there are other camp-type activities also, Many of the campers require attendants, and facilities arc provided for the latter. Last year a total of 66 boys and 47 girls, representing J5 ctt les In Oregon, attended the sessions, and 42 of them were in wheel chairs. Many organizations provide campships to help defray costs, but Yost pointed out that no youngster or young adult Is de nied the exierlence because of lack of funds. The Easter Seal agency picks up the deficits. The sessions are divided Into the following age groups: 7 to 9 years; 10 to 13; 14 to 15; 16 to 18 and 19 years and older. Applications for the camp will be available in late April from the Oregon Society for Crippled Children and Adults, 43-13 S. W.
