These three organiza tions have made it possible for Trampas to attend the two week camp. Some local groups are mak ing a difference in a Heppner second grader's life. The Heppner Elk's Lodge, the Masonic Temple and the Odd Fellows Lodge pooled their resources so that Trampas Jeffreys can attend Meadowood Springs Speech and Hearing Camp for two weeks this July. The camp is located between Weston and Tollgate. Trampas' teacher, Carol Clupny, a speech pathologist with the Education Service District who is at Heppner Elementary School on a week ly basis, nominated Trampas for the scholarship. Clupny says that while at camp, Tram pas will have two individual speech and therapy sessions and one group session daily, in addition to may other activities, such as flag raising, nature studies, crafts, swimming lessons and canoeing. Clupny says that the camp is designed so that every activity is geared to carry over speech activities. "Their slogan is 'Meadowood Works'. And one reason it works is because of the cons tant emphasis on speech throughout every activity. Students learn to monitor their own speech and that's a real key to their remedial efforts," said Clupny. Clupny says that the Elk's Lodge in Oregon has done a lot for the camp. "They build cabins and contribute monitari- ly, in addition to providing scholarships. The camp is one of their major goals," she said. Trampas is the son of Helen and Ron Jeffreys of Heppner.
