need equipment for disabled childrens camp
« on: June 16, 2009, 01:35:00 PM »
My wifes family helps operate a camp for disabled children and adults in the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming every year.The camp is split into two weeks one for the kids and another for the adults. This is a non-profit camp and all the labor and supplies are donated. My family has been working at this camp for 20 plus years doing everything from cook to counselor. The camp has an archery portion to it where the campers are taught how to shoot the bow.
 We are in need of archery equipment as over the years what little equipment the camp had, has worn out. The camp could use light weight bows and arrrows, arm guards and targets.The camp is held at the presbyterian church camp in Story Wyoming.

 Here is a blog, I found on-line from one of the counselors.

The teen aged boy in the pictures is my son. If anyone can help, let me know and I'll post an address where you can send the equipment.

should have been more specific we need the little fiberglass bows 20 to 30 lbs like the old red bear bows. That type and kids arrows for bows 30 lbs and under

 Guys this is a very good cause as some of these kids are wheel chair boud and this is the only time they get outside in the mountains. It also gives the kids care takers a small break to be able to recharge thier batteries. It takes alot to care for someone that is disabled. What's the old saying? There go I but for the Grace of GOD

Will the camp take cash donations so they can buy what they need in the sizes they need?
