Truman's Legacy
When Truman took Office in 1945 he accomplished several things: He revised Social Security, passed the Fair Housing Act, and help to establish the nation's first and only land-grant camp. The Pythian Youth Foundation of CA is the keeper of President Truman's vision of a wlderness camp where disadvantaged children can retreat from often improvised cities and experience first-hand the awe and wonder of nature.
Camping has the power to change a child's perception of themselves and the world that they live in. CHILDREN AT CAMP make new friends; they develop communications skills and learn about shared responsibility; they gain confidence in themselves and in their ability to cope with fears and frustrations.
camp fires marshmallows . . .
and children dancing.
