The Garaghty family from Zimmerman sends thank yous to the folks who support Camp Knutson with their attendance at Night Under the Stars on Saturday, July 19, at Camp Knutson in Crosslake.
This annual event, with other special events at the camp, helps families like the Garaghtys send their three children with Down syndrome for a week of camping on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes.
Byron and Kari Garaghty have adopted five children with Down syndrome ages 6 months to 12 years. They were looking for a camping experience that was safe, fun and welcoming to their 10-, 11- and 12-year-old kids. They found all they were looking for and more at Camp Knutson.
To buy a ticket to the Western Round-Up at Night Under the Stars, contact Sharon Elmquist at 218-692-1142 by July 12. A $75 ticket includes a catered buffet dinner and a live and silent auction.
Camp Knutson is a nonprofit organization providing camping experiences for children with special needs, including autism, Down syndrome, heart disease, severe skin conditions and families affected by HIV and AIDS.
