Huron County, "This program often prevents children becoming bored and creating problems for their family or coummunity." "Many children want to Ku to camp, but in todays economy just cannot afford it" Penn said. This program, operated every year. provides a way for children to have a fun camping ex- perience which would otherwise not be possible. This program is funded by donations from local service clubs. church groups and in- dividuals. "It costs between $40 - $50 per week to send one child to summer camp, and we rely on local people to support the children in their community," Penn said "Every dollar you send goes directly to the child, no money is spent on ad- ministration costs - donations are also tax deduc- tible."
