distrophy diseases. Campers attending ranged from nine to 39 years of age and met in mid-June at the YMCA Flat Rock River Camp, located about 35 miles southeast of Indianapolis at St. Paul. The camp was sponsored by the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America. Purpose of the annual program is to offer MD patients, whose world is generally bound by the four walls of their homes, a chance to enjoy the great out-of-doors in a camp setting. This year it included all the usual camp activities such as swimming, fishing, horseback riding, archery, and arts and crafts—almost everything except hiking. The campers were in wheelchairs and the hiking trails could not accomodate them. Assisting the camp staff were 36 teenage volunteer attendants who were assigned to each camper. The attendants were necessary to the camp success since each

camper had to be lifted out of his chair into the swimming pool and on to horseback. Some of the campers, who could not lift their arms above shoulder height, even needed help to eat. The camp is one of many patient services provided by MDAA with funds raised by the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, “Shamrocks for Dystrophy and the Kimberly Clark premium seal campaign. MD is the general term used to describe a number of diseases characterized by the progressive degeneration of muscles. Transmitted by genetic pattern, MD is most often hereditary but can occur spontaneously. Most of the major types of MD strike children and young people. The disease’s rate of progression varies with different types of MD, as does the ultimate result which ranges from limited to total disability. No treatment for the arrest or cure of MD has yet been found.
