Johnson (right) suggested Yurk (left) to the Society for a camp opportunity.
<< that experience…I’m a teacher and I love when I see the girls at school wearing their camp t-shirts and hear them telling their friends how much fun they had.” One such camper was Neligh Yurk, who went to Camp Kitaki near Louisville, Neb., last July with the help of the Society. Yurk attends school where Johnson teaches and was suggested by Johnson to the Society. “They picked me and my friend, Naomi, and they helped fill out our permission slips,” she says. “They paid for everything, and if I needed anything—like soap or other stuff—they paid for it. It was great.” Yurk says she truly enjoyed her camp experience. “It was fun. We rode horses on trails, went swimming every day, made s’mores, did archery, climbed the rock wall, and we made a lot of new friends.”
