We managed to send 16 kids to the camp this year. They fired around 20,000 rounds at the range today after attending Hunter's Ed classes yesterday. Pretty cool pics on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Karl-E-Kelley-Camp-325383110927882/?fref=nfLooks like they will get wet the next couple of days. Jack

We had one of our campers visit our meeting the other night and deliver a thank you note for sponsoring him to the camp. We also found out another of "our" campers was chosen as camper-of-the-year. I think we got another thank you in the mail from another of our kids today.

If anyone involved may be able to message me about ways to help out and volunteer, that would be incredibly appreciated. Wanting to start my own non-profit later in life and would love to see how such a successful one currently operates and help out! Here is some information on the Camp itself.... icoo.com/wp/youthcamp/The ICCO is upgrading their page so their "Contact Us" page is not ready yet. See.. icoo.com/wp/contactus/Hatchet Jack (Corpuz) on here might be able to point you in the right direction for who to contact..

Yup, the camp officially opens up at noon on Sunday the 17th. The gate to the camp is closed, and there are counselors there to answer any questions that parents might have. Then at 12 noon the gate is opened up and there are others detailed to help with parking, where to go to check in the kids, and get any questions answered. Then there is a short program shown in the mess hall about how and when the camp came about.
Then the campers get t-shirts and caps, find out where they are sleeping, get organized into 4 groups, and with the good bye's over with, things start happening. It's a lot of work as I go up early to help set things up, but overall a blast for the several days up there. Range Day is frantic but well organized and very safe. Can't recall how many years I've gone up, but it's well over the 10 year mark. One of these days I expect to see Jack up there, and we can reminisce over our days in the "Old Corps".

You mean when the rifles had wood stocks?

You mean when the rifles had wood stocks? That's affirmative, just like my M1A, 2 H&R Garands, and a Standard Products Carbine. The linseed oil has been removed from all the wood and replaced with pure Tung Oil that has been hand rubbed in over time. One Garand that looks like it was never issued, has the grain that shines like a custom stock when it get out in the sun. Oh the days in boot camp spent with a rag soaked with linseed oil sloshing that stuff on the M14.
