о Accomplishments:
� There were 36 youth with disabilities who attended the 19 th Annual Idaho
Youth Wheelchair Sports camp (highest number in the history of camp).
There were 80 volunteers involved in helping out over the course of the
four-day camp. Camp was a great success. Approximately 21 businesses
helped sponsor this camp.
� Sonya Buchholz from Western Washington University began her 12 week
internship with our Therapeutic Recreation program.
o Trends or Issues:
� We had to reschedule all of the June rafting trips because the water level
was too high.
о Upcoming Events:
� The Conquer the Current Rafting trip will take place August 15 – 17. This
trip was funded by the 39 Pounds of Love movie premiere fundraiser in
October 2005. Currently there are 5 teens with or recovering from cancer
and 5 siblings or friends that are signed up.
