Wednesday, June 26,2019 dawsonnews.com I DAWSON COUNTY NEWS I 3A Photo for the Dawson County News Kyle Cruce, 22, works at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge on the outdoor adventure activities. FROM 1A Camp Cruce said. “This is the one thing they look for ward to every year, this week, coming to camp and having the best week of their life every year.” At Camp Twin Lakes, the camp adapts to the campers so that they can have the best possible week. It’s something Cruce wanted to give back to the camp that meant so much to him growing up. “Me being here for 10 weeks instead of just this one week for Camp Sunshine, it’s allowed me to see the other popula tions that are able to come here and kind of give back to every camp that comes here. It’s been really awe some,” Cruce said. Cruce said the hardest part about his job is Friday when it’s time for the campers to say their goodbyes until next year. “That kind of makes it hard when they do leave on Fridays is knowing that this is their best week of their life and sometimes these kids don’t go home to the best scenarios,” Cruce said. “Getting to know them so much and getting to love them that week and then having to see them go is pretty tough.” After Cruce wraps up his 10 weeks at Camp Twin Lakes, he will be going back to the University of North Georgia where he is a senior majoring in nurs ing. He aspires to be a pedi atric oncology nurse help ing children beat pediatric cancer - just like he did. Camp Twin Lakes has locations in Rutledge, Winder and Warm Springs, with state-of-the- art camp sites, highly trained staff, specialized food services and inten tional and therapeutic pro gramming with the goal of giving each of its campers a life-changing experience everyone deserves. The program began in 1993 when founder, Doug Hertz, saw a need for camp programs in Georgia for children with illnesses, special needs and other life challenges.
