Portland, April 14th. The Red Lion, Jantzen Beach was filled with hundreds of swells raising money for the Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp. Costumed guest were told, “Time to throw on your glad rags and get swanky! Tap your toes and guzzle down the giggle water!” Terri Hammond, Lynn Ragsdale, Karen VanAcker and Kim Armstrong enjoyed the festivities. The camp offers children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to experience the great outdoors.
The Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp was founded in 1933 by the Kiwanis Club of Montavilla to serve low-income youth.
We began serving people with disabilities in 1957. Since 1972, the camp has enjoyed a unique partnership with Portland State University’s Special Education Department which provides planning and personnel support.
Every summer, over 500 children and adults with developmental, physical and/or neurological disabilities enjoy and benefit from their time at Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp.
