For this week’s Cool Camp, we’re headed east about 50 miles. Why? Because we’re going to show you a very special camp for kids with special needs.  These children are facing serious illnesses and other physical, emotional and life challenges. 
Camp Twin Lakes offers a number of camps that specifically target one demographic.  I think my favorite [...]

June 8, 2009

Our second Cool Camp is truly a cool camp. We’re headed to Mtv’s Camp Jam where kids learn how to be rock stars.  They sing, they dance,  they wear cool clothes, and they play cool instruments.  I’m going to bring my clarinet just in case they need me up on the stage!
You can watch the [...]

Today Steven and I visited our first Cool Camp to shoot the stories for Friday. It’s Camp Can-I-Cook, a place where kids go to learn how to be a chef! These kids are a lot of fun and really know a thing or two about cooking!
And no, no one cried over spilt milk!

We’ll tell you [...]
