To awaken each morning to a world
totally devoid of sound is hard to imagine
for most people, but to the 200 children who
attended Camp La Junta this summer,
silence will surround most of them for a
lifetime.
This has had a profound effect on the life
of sophomore Miss Cindy Mellgren, who
worked as a counselor with deaf and hard
of hearing children for two weeks this
summer at Camp La Junta.
"I always wanted to specialize in the
field of handicapped children It (the
camp) gave me the incentive to want to
open a day care center for deaf children,”
said Miss Mellgren, whose major is child
care and development.
She attended a training session one week
before the children arrived, to prepare
herself especially in communicating with
the deaf. Some of the children at the camp
could read lips, but Miss Mellgren learned
sign language to communicate also
“1 like the way they express themselves,
they really get excited about the world,”
said Miss Mellgren.
Miss Mellgren supervised a cabin of four
girls. She was also in charge of arts and
crafts. The children, ages seven to 12, took
part in hiking, swimming, tennis,
horseback riding, scuba diving,
marksmanship and motor bike riding
This is the third year Camp La Junta has
provided two weeks during the summer for

deat children to live in a world surrounded
by the things most children take for
'granted.
Dr. Ann Garrett, director of child care
and development, also attended the camp,
to help train the 40 counselors. She had a
completely different view of the camp.
“We lived in a goldfish bowl. The entire
project was a pilot program to
demonstrate the benefits and effects
camping offers handicapped children, it
provided a setting for specially trained
teachers and supervisors to observe
interaction without becoming directly
involved," said Dr. Garrett
The camp had three components, with
the children’s needs receiving top priority,
then the needs of the counselors and
teachers. The teachers had the
opportunity to find ideas for building
curriculum for total communication skills
and behavior modification concepts for
deaf children. The counselors gained the
experience to assume career roles and
develop direct communication with the
children.
Both Dr. Garrett and Miss Mellgren
agreed their experience at the camp was a
two way learning process,
“I was scared at first, but 1 learned to
communicate not only with deaf people,
but with hearing people, too,” said Miss
Mellgren

LOVING MEMORIES
Your gentle face and patient
smile.
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And Jkd Lelutod by all.
The voice Is mute and stilled the
heart,
That loved as well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one ao good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will yon ever be,
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts
are sore.
As time goes by we miss you
more.
Your loving smile, your gentle
face,
No one can Oil your vacant
place.
