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.
