If you own a boat and can spare a day, consider helping out Camp Cavett.
The week-long camp on Lake Texoma is for kids from the Children’s Hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center who have terminal or life changing illnesses.
Danny Cavett is the chaplain at the hospital. Camp Cavett has been in existence since 2003.
A volunteer nursing staff helps the kids with their medical needs while attending the camp.
Each year, the kids are treated to two fishing trips. On Thursday morning (July 8), the kids are going striper fishing on Lake Texoma.
On July 10, a kids’ fishing derby for all species is scheduled and prizes will be awarded. After a morning of fishing, everyone is invited to a hot dog and hamburger cookout for lunch.
But the camp is short on boats this year. If you own a boat and can volunteer either day to escort children and camp counselors for a half-day of fishing, visit www.cavettkidsfoundation.org or call Gene Gilliland at 317-9488.
