A LITTLE EXTRA effort and another handi-camper makes It up
the hill at Camo Eaater SeaL thanks to a teen-age volunteer.
A total of 57 toen-agera served oa volunteers at the camp for
the physically handicapped last summer, serving in many ca
padties.
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. Corbett St., Port-,
land, and Interested persons are
urged to apply as early as pos
sible because there often Is a
waiting list.
Dates for this year's sessions
will be announced soon.
