j Camp Spirit
Disable

.L Post Staff Writer
' c One might ask himself,
: itWhere and what is Camp
: Spirit?" Camp Spirit is locat
: ed in the Dilworth section of
: the Charlotte community. It is
lead by Kon Smith, director,
and Lena Grier, assistant di
rector. The main objective is
to give those with disability
problems a chance to both
compete and become aware of
athletics and recreation.
Lena Grier, who has worked
with disabled citizens for 25
years says, "This day camp
for retarded and handicapped
citizens entertains groups
with different disability pro
blems each week. We have led
an opportunity to work with
citizens from the Center of
Human Development and with
those who were deaf and blind.
This camp is unique because it
is one of the few of its kind in
' Charlotte. However, there
should be more programs in
the community geared toward
assisting handicapped and dis
abled persons."
She further denoted, "Some
of us fail to realize that all of
us obtain some type of handi
cap. The citizens at Camp
Spirit are enabled to commu
nicate like everyone else,
without being ostracized be
cause of their handicaps.
They thoroughly enjoy them
selves and we enjoy them."
Each week at the camp is
highlighted with either an
overnight camping trip or a
field trip. Last Friday, was no
exception as the blind receiv
ed an opportunity to go to
Tweetsie Railroad.
The staff at Camp Spirit
consist of 11 persons. Both
Joan Antrum and Gindy El
kins, who work at the Char
lotte Mecklenburg Mentally
Retarded Center are summer
employees there. The rest of
the staff are college and high
school students. Ron Smith,
director says, “Without the
staff the program would not
b« as successful as it is.
r. Those who are interested
may enroll at the office of the
Charlotte Park and Recrea
tion Commission. The pro
gram is free and free lunches
are given each day.
