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.
These awards—which are funded
through a memorial established in J. Wendell
and Ruth T. Howe’s name—encourage
excellence in writing and photography. Each
year we recognize those individuals who contribute
their talents to Camping
Magazine—with
quality articles that address the needs of camp
professionals and outstanding photography that
depicts the camp experience. All articles and
photographs submitted to Camping
Magazine during
the calendar year are automatically entered
in this competition. Photos
submitted for the Golden Lens Contest must be
accompanied by a Photo Release Form.
