Producer Pick: Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp



Join some amazing kids who, for one fun filled week, are able to forget about their disabilities and really enjoy the outdoors.

And they do it all with a big smile on their face.

First Broadcast: 2007

Production Credits: Producer - Steve Amen; Videographers - Michael Bendixen & Steve Amen; Editor - Todd Sonflieth
