La Harpe Lion Joe Gutting was given his 30 year membership pen at the La Harpe Lions Club March 6th meeting with 19 members attending.
The La Harpe Lions, a service group that works to better the community, voted to give one thousand dollars to the La Harpe Ambulance Service and one hundred dollars to the Illini West High School After Prom committee. The Lions Club also donated $525 to Camp Lions!
Camp Lions mission is for the overall growth of the individual camper in self-confidence and in knowledge, independence, leadership, and creativity through a recreational experience geared to individual abilities, from the beginning camper to the returning veteran.
Camp Lions is recreational and does not teach any curriculum to campers. A ratio of 4 campers to 1 Counselor is maintained to assure safety and provide positive role modeling.
Older Teen campers who are Counselors-In-Training provide extra hands to make the camp flow smoothly.
Campers enjoy swimming and canoeing, team sports, archery, fishing, horseback riding, cookouts, crafts, artwork and nature programs.
Every session offers th camper new opportunities to explore new skills. And, it is all for free!
Camp Lions of Illinois for Blind and Deaf Youth offers eligible youth a week of fun, challenging activities and an opportunity to make new friends with peers of similar abilities at our over-night camp.
