The camp is being <br />held from July 9 – July 13, <br />at the Emergency Services <br />nd <br />Training Center at 2 and <br />Chambers in Eugene. This is a free day camp for high school aged young women (up to age 19), designed as a “mini” <br />fire academy with a focus on teamwork and building confidence and leadership skills. Activities will include rope <br />rappelling, vehicle extrication, forcible entry, live firefighting and emergency medical response scenarios. Each day, at <br />lunchtime, female leaders from the community will speak with the camp participants. Last year’s camp was very <br />successful, and everyone involved had a lot of fun.

These rides can help prepare vets for longer rides coming up in Roseburg and Seattle <br />that are specifically for disabled vets. <br /> <br />The weekly cycling is part of a new series of activities offered to vets to help them adjust to life after their military <br />service. The series includes a number of activities with other vets who have also experienced combat. These activities <br />include photography hikes, learn-to-row clinic, trap shooting clinic, and day at the Challenge Course. To help the <br />families bond after one parent’s long absence, Adaptive Rec is also offering several activities for vets and their <br />families, including family kayak, family sail, and a family canoe trip. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Patty Prather at 541-682-5311. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />April 26, 2012 <br />
