excellence in writing and photography.
Each year we recognize those individuals
who contribute their talents to Camping

that address the needs of camp professionals
and outstanding photography that depicts
the camp experience. All articles and photographs
submitted to Camping Magazine during
the calendar year are automatically entered
in this competition. Photos submitted
for the Golden Lens Contest must be accompanied
by a Photo
Release Form.

J. Wendell Howe was one of the early leaders
in the private/independent camp movement
in ACA's western region. He, along with his
wife, Ruth, directed a Community Chest camp,
Camp Condor, near Taft, California, in the
summers of 1943 and 1944. In 1945, they bought
a camp at Lake Tahoe and named it Skylake
Camp for Boys. The camp is now called Skylake
Yosemite Camp, which until recently was owned
and directed by John T. Howe, CCD, J. Wendell
and Ruth's son. Their daughter, Marian Howe
Andersen Herndon, CCD, also gained recognition
in the camp field as owner and director of
Skylake Ranch Camp in Ahwahnee, California. |
