Herald staff
Kennolyn Camps, which started with an operation in Santa Cruz in 1946, has opened a new overnight children’s summer camp in Huntington Lake and is accepting campers for the summer season.
“Like the Santa Cruz Mountains program, the new camp on Huntington Lake is a family-run, traditional overnight program for boys and girls ages 10 to 16,” wrote Dan Johnson, camp director, in an emailed press release. “Two-week sessions run from July 8 to Aug. 16 with activities ranging from waterskiing, sailing,
trapeze, horseback riding and more. Counselors come from around the world, giving camp a fun international flavor.”
Kennolyn Camps ran its first session last summer at the site and recently took over the 10-acre Camp La Salle property on the north side of the lake. The camp has its own dock on the lake.
Kennolyn continues to operate the Santa Cruz facilities, two camps on 300 acres. The company was founded in 1946 by Max and Marion Caldwell, who were teachers in Fowler in the 1940s. They found property in Santa Cruz and named it Kennolyn
after their children Ken and Carolyn. That first summer they enrolled 32 campers, mostly from the Fresno and Bakersfield areas, and nearly half of these were their nieces and nephews. After about 75 years, the Caldwell family is in the third generation of leadership and is still actively running the operation.

There are quite a few other camps in the area that can be found via Google or Yelp.
A couple are Gold Arrow and River Way Ranch.

all trusting your instinct. We work on it every day in practice. It’s just me and him. I know how he moves, what he’s going to do, where he’s going to go.”
The play stood out in a game full of good plays.
Bejeckian’s son Billy is also an assistant coach and a former 2009 North Yosemite league MVP from Fresno. Sam Bejeckian said his player of the game was outfielder Alex Avalos. Avalos, the lead hitter in the batting rotation for the Apaches, finished the game four for four in hits and nearly the identical statistic for runs.
Quietly efficient.
Avalos also exhibits enthusiasm. Like the rest of his teammates, he loves baseball. And it shows.
“I think we’re going to sweep Bullard, win CMAC
and we’ll be the toughest team in the playoffs,” Avalos said. “Tonight we hit the crap out of the ball and everything fell our way. As long as we keep hitting like this, we’ll make a difference.”
Sanger faced Bullard in Fresno on Tuesday and would again on Thursday at home.
Rodriguez said he thinks the team can take it all the way. “We play hard all the time,” he said. “It’s getting hot out, but that’s not an excuse for us. It’s whoever wants it more. And it’s going to be us. We want it more.”
Then he said, “Starting at 6 a.m. Every day.”
After Flores reached his pitching limit in the game, Rodriguez took the mound in the sixth inning. “A-Rod’s a closer,” Bejeckian said.
Flores said he had taken a couple weeks off before returning to pitch that evening. “Next week is probably our biggest
week,” he said. “We can do it. The brotherhood’s strong. Stronger than last year.”
Garcia gave his prediction. “Got to keep the same energy,” he said. “As always.”
And shortstop Steven Martinez, known as the Wizard for his ball handling, headed out into the darkness with the promise that his team would keep winning.
Coach Cuellar had left them with some advice. “Take care of your body,” he said. “Take care of your mind.”
And Bejeckian said to the assembled team after the game, “There should be no pressure on you because you’re a championship team.”
