Camp for kids who parents are in prison


While Devin threaded his seventh friendship bracelet ever, 12-year-old Tyler Rose picked vegetablesfor dinner in the camp's garden. "Here's a pretty big tomato but it's not really ripe," she said. Both Tyler Rose and Devin had to fill out a special form to come to Kamp 4 Kids. "I got selected to go here," Devin said. However, the selection process doesn't look at grades or awards. "Each of the children here have a parent who is currently in prison," said Kamp 4 Kids Session Director MacKenzie Hardt. "We give them a place to come and have a good time with other kids in the same predicament as them."
