J. Wendell and Ruth T. Howe Golden Quill and Lens Awards

J. Wendell Howe was one of the early
leaders in the private/independent camp movement
in ACA's western region. He, along with his wife,
Ruth, directed a Community Chest camp, Camp Condor,
near Taft, California, in the summers of 1943
and 1944. In 1945, they bought a camp at Lake
Tahoe and named it Skylake Camp for Boys. The
camp is now called Skylake Yosemite Camp, which
until recently was owned and directed by John
T. Howe, CCD, J. Wendell and Ruth's son. Their
daughter, Marian Howe Andersen Herndon, CCD, also
gained recognition in the camp field as owner
and director of Skylake Ranch Camp in Ahwahnee,
California.
