          One of the first sponsors were neighbouring  res of Keuka Lake is a natural forest chapel, com-
        winemakers, who saw daily what was happe-  mon to Christians and Jews. Under the trees

        the camp created Finger Lakes International  stones with the names of children who will ne-
        Wine Competition held in Rochester, which  ver come to the camp again.
        over time became one of the main sources of
        funding. The idea of helping children with can-

          We are happy that six children from the on-

        we almost lost the signal. But the idea of cam-
        ping remains honourable, as well as an ama-
        zing place where children can recover from
        cancer.
