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 competitions. For
