“As a board member, one joy is to visit programs and people and the staff who work for them. Recently, I dropped in on Ogden day campers enjoying lunch at the South Ogden Splash Pad. Shoes off, bathing suits on and grins in place, eleven campers discovered the fun of the unpredictable jets of water, the swings, slides, and even woodchips. With their instructors’ help, children tie-dyed tee-shirts, devoured Popsicles, and stayed cool on June’s hottest day of the year. Ogden summer day camp provides real enjoyment for campers and needed help for their families. Please support it!”
—Susie Miner, Past Chair of Board of Directors
Mitch Vosburg has been attending TURN day programs since 1986. When he had to go into a care center in 2009, he missed his friends at the day program that he had treasured for so many years. So, later that year, he was able to come back to the Woods Cross day program part-time.
Mitch loves holding onto hair scrunches and a deck of cards that he plays with. He enjoys Special Olympic bowling and track and field, but he cannot participate in the actual track and field games because of the heat. However, he enjoys practicing when there is cooler weather. Mitch loves being with his friends at the day program, participating in the activities, and going out in the community. He does not speak but he communicates his joy through a big smile on his face!
