The
residential therapeutic program at the Salesmanship Club Youth Camp came
to an end on May 21, 2004.
The
Salesmanship Club remains committed to helping boys and girls who have
experienced difficulties and has begun an intensive study to develop an
innovative, new program designed
to meet the changing needs of children and families in our community.
The
residential program enjoyed a long history of outstanding service to thousands
of children and families in Dallas. Just as the residential camping program
was a breakthrough model almost 60 years ago, the Salesmanship Club plans
once again to create a powerful, pioneering approach to help young people.
The Salesmanship Club Youth Camp continues to serve as a valuable resource
for children and families in other Salesmanship Club programs.
Steve Holm, former assistant director for the residential program, has
moved into the position of camp manager. In this role, Holm is working
with staff at Jonsson Community School and in the Salesmanship Club's
family therapy program to develop meaningful learning experiences for
students and clients. Several JEJCS classes and the Boy Scout troop are
planning camp trips to explore
ecosystems, animal and plant life cycles , and many other natural resources
that are abundant in this outdoor setting. |
