Paying For Camp

From: Beno Picciano
Length: 03:31

A story about one very special summer camp, and how difficulties with fundraising could cause problems in the near future. Read the full description.

Camp_small I volunteered for a week at Kiwanis Camp Casey, a summer camp for children with disabilities. The camp is free for the campers, but fundraising is proving to be a challenge. I recorded some sounds from camp, and interviewed Camp Director Barb Williams, who explained the camp's current financial situation. This was my first full piece for Weekday High, a summer internship program at KUOW in Seattle.
