FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Creatures And Kids Thinks Summer Camp is G.R.E.A.T.Subtitle of announcementSeptember 2, 2002 -- This is the body of the announcement ... September
2, 2002 Creatures
And Kids, Inc. Thinks Summer Camp is G.R.E.A.T.
Vicky Adams went to summer
camp and discovered how Creatures And Kids, Inc. could play a small, but
important role in a G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) program
for kids. Adams is the Chair
of Animal Assisted Education for Creatures and Kids, Inc., a
non-profit organization that believes it is possible to re-direct today’s
youth toward positive character qualities through controlled interaction with
animals. She
felt the two organizations complimented each other since they share several
common goals and decided to volunteer at this year’s G.R.E.A.T. summer camp in
Elk City, Oklahoma. At the end of
the week, she was both exhausted and exhilarated.
“It's
tough but I loved it. We start out
at 7AM each morning, feed the kids breakfast, take roll and then the programs
start.” The first day was spent
at the Flyin-W Guest Ranch where the children rode horses, and enjoyed wagon and
paddle boat rides. One of
the high points was
visiting a 1700
year old bison-kill site. Even
a cowboy poet and a state representative spoke to the group.
Adams
had the opportunity to introduce her trained dog, “Girly-Girl” to the
campers. She demonstrated basic
obedience and discussed the many things people and animals have in common.
She also talked about how animals communicate in many different forms;
words, tone of voice, facial expression and body language.
Girly used her
unique ability to charm and make friends with several of the young campers. Creatures
And Kids’ first partnership with G.R.E.A.T. proved a successful and rewarding
way to spend a few weeks this summer. If
you would like to know more about Creatures and Kids, Inc., please call 405.478.8550.
