From “Blind Boy Succeeds at Camp”
For the third consecutive year, Mark Grenley of Tacoma has been one of the most active participants in Camp Saratoga, the Camp of Living Judaism, yet he has never seen its green lawns, its stately trees and blooming flowers. Nor has he seen his special counselor who has made camp life an exciting experience. Mark is totally blind, but he has established new records for activities and participation in camp program.
His attendance at camp is made possible by funds provided by the Counselors for the Blind Fund sponsored by Bay Area Sisterhoods of Reform congregations. The money pays for the counselor who is specially engaged for the blind camper.
Hailed as an outstanding success, the project was expanded this year to allow for three blind campers, one at each session of camp. However, the scholarship was new and only a few blind campers were known to the committee, so only Mark attended. And again he made an outstanding record.
