The UBM at Deaf Camp 2019

[Darren Haverstick]

The 18th annual Outdoor Skills Camp for Hard of Hearing Children and their Families (Deaf Camp) was held last weekend at the H Roe Bartle Boy Scout Ranch near Iconium, MO and, as always, the United Bowhunters of Missouri gang was there to run the archery range. When we left camp last year, we thought it might be the last one due to funding issues but several folks and organizations came through with donations and camp was on for 2019. The UBM donated $2100 to the cause - money that came directly from its members. It's a good feeling to be part of such an organization.

Many balloons were popped, many fake animals were skewered, and a lot of fun was had by all. This is one event that we never have a shortage of volunteers! It's also very gratifying when the kids come up to you and tell you that archery is their favorite activity to do.

Those kids look like they're having a ball,.... everyone that made the "camp" possible, deserves a pat on the back and a great big "thank you".

That's great Darren! Very happy to see the kids (and the adults too) enjoying a nice archery outing. That's a very good thing you folks are doing. 

[Winter Hawk]

Very impressive, what you all are doing for those kids!  I salute you, sir!

I'm sure you got $1,200 worth of smiles and love...and those kids have some great memories. You all deserve some great big attaboys

Not sure how I missed this.
This kind of story warms my old heart and I can only imagine how the donors felt when they saw the results.
Congratulations to the Bow Hunters for such a grand show of support.

WOW! What a tremendous gift for all those kids. All of you in the UBM deserve a big round of applause  .
