An effort to help children ages 5-16 called Camp Soar was a success this past Saturday at the Bluffs in Junction City. It was conducted in conjunction with Accord Hospice and the help of community volunteers, the Junction City Fire Department, Junction City J Steppers, Geary County 4-H and the Milford Nature Center untouchables animal show.

The camp was held for children that have suffered any kind of loss whether it be death, divorce, distance or deployment. The goal was to provide a place that children could come together and have fun with other children that may be going through similar experiences.

Organizers reported the Camp was a huge success thanks to the many sponsors and volunteers from the community. They plan to make this an annual event in Junction City.
