A story from the newspaper in Caspar, Wyoming, tells about a camp geared toward teens.

“A lot of these kids come into this with no intentions of being a leader,” said Dano Camp board member Joyce Ostrom. “But before long, they’re in there pitching in and helping out and showing the newer kids how to do things.”

Dano Camp, named for Ostrom’s late son, Danny Ostrom, was started by a group of Danny’s friends after his death at age 25 following a horseback riding accident.

“At the funeral, the priest challenged everyone and said, ‘Let’s make a positive out of this negative,”‘ said Joyce Ostrom. “Some of the people there came up with the idea for a youth camp for boys.”

The challenge being that those who need it the most will want to do it the least.
