Doug Armstrong Featured: “Always Within His Reach”

The alumni magazine at Albion College, Io Triumphe!, features a terrific article about Doug Armstrong’s long journey to open North Star Reach.

“Our first camp was taking a van full of kids to a liver transplant camp outside of Pittsburgh,” writes Doug, a ’88 Albion graduate. “The campers put their swimsuits on and realized that everybody in the pool had a scar. These kids are used to this being a self-image problem and here they were, surrounded by kids who had ‘their’ scar. That brought it to me, the power of camp and these kids feeling normal for the first time.”

The article touches on the many ways that camp benefits kids, parents, and even the volunteers who give a week of their summer. Read the complete article here: http://bit.ly/2mzgxPH
