PROGRAM:
Mitch D’Arlon,
provided a report on Camp Jack, highlighting its success and financial responsibility. He noted the passing of Ray, a long-time board member who contributed significantly, especially to the fishing experience. The camp met its guarantee of 72 campers this year, with 31% coming from El Cajon zip codes. Paul Walters organized the fishing experience at Lake Cuyamaca, with support from Gary Robinson, John Ruiz, and others. Camp Jack is the only overnight camp that has what we call the lake day, where we transport the campers down to Lake Cuyamaca And you guys put- on the fishing experience. Where the campers come in, they learn how to Fish .
