Special needs camp application is still available

Applications for a summer vacation full of fun for special needs youth in the Tri-City area are still being accepted by members of the Morgan City Lions Club.
The Louisiana Lions Camp is located north of Leesville in Anacoco and will open May 31.
There will be a one-week session for youth with pulmonary disorders, two one-week sessions for youth with mild mental challenges, two one-week sessions for youth with diabetes, two one-week sessions for visual, hearing and orthopedically impaired youth, and a one-week session for youth with hematology/oncology disorders.
There is no cost to the parents for the campers’ stay. All requests for summer camp are handled locally by Lions, and each applicant requires Lion sponsorship.
