HOME CONTACT US BIOGRAPHY INTERCESSION LION'S CAMP FRIENDS SYNOPSIS

LOUISIANA LION'S CAMP - LEESVILLE, LA.

The Louisiana Lions Camp, located just north of Leesville, La. was an integral part of our lives for several years, as this was basically the only thing Theresa was able to participate in that brought an enormous joy to her heart.

She was sponsored by the Bolton Ave. Lions each year from 1966 until 1969.

I'm hoping that we will hear from some of the children that attended the camp while she was there as well as from the staff members and counselors. We're hoping they'll be able to provide testimonial, photographs or any other type of memorabilia from that period.

If you know of anyone that attended the camp during these sessions, please contact us. Although we've included a snippet of information on this page, there are many more campers and counselors that may have known her from the 4 years that she attended the camp. Please help us in locating those that attended, so their testimonies can be recorded.

	Our Secret Of Happiness
	"To me camp is a place where you can find a certain kind of happiness that only you and the people who work with you will ever know." "It is a world that centers around the patience it takes to make a child smile." "It is the kind of place where you can see love every minute of every day." "Here, the handicapped child feels free to let loose and enjoy himself." "It is a place where I know God's special children are happy and there's nothing as beautiful as a smile on a small child's face." "The Lions Camp is Love..."
