Fund camp for kids with disabilities The Tahoe Fund is partnering with Camp Wamp, a sleepaway camp for children with physical disabilities ages 10 to 18, to give campers a unique experience on the shores of Lake Tahoe in 2022. The Tahoe Fund is raising $25,000 to fund field trips for the campers to visit the East Shore Trail and Sand Harbor State Park. The funds will cover the costs to transport the 20 to 25 campers and camp counselors in each weekly session. At Camp Wamp, kids learn about selfreliance and explore the outdoors. Started in 2002 by Stephen Wampler, Camp Wamp offers six one-week sessions every July and August and has hosted more than 1,250 kids. | tahoefund.org, campwamp.org
