The Judge Riddel camp closing, is that I need to pick up the pace on the development
of Camp BEN KORP (Kids On the Right Path)! Although I don't wish any adversity
for the Riddel Ranch, if Sedgwick County does plan to close it would create a huge void
in available successful programs that reach out to our troubled youths and truly make a positive impact
on them.
As a former native of the Wichita, Kansas community, I grew up spending Summers at Lake Afton and like
others always wondered what exactly went on on the other side of that fence. Heck, at times, my curiosity almost got the best of me and I almost got the chance to see first hand exactly what took place on the other side.
I just gave you that totally useless piece of information to say that 50 years is a long time without change. Maybe it's time to pass the torch, while all the while continuing on with the same tradition of reaching out to our
youths and making a difference in their lives.
Camp BEN KORP is gearing up to accept hand off, should that day in August come. Camp KORP, as all of us BEN members like to call it, will take that 50 year old tradition and use it to build off of, while incorporate a few simple yet invigorating techniques to truly be a positive influence in youths from all walks of life. In contrast of Riddel, Camp KORP's primary focus is to be accomplished through a proactive approach opposed to getting youths after they have already been introduced to the court system. The four corner stones of Camp KORP are as follows:
1. Introduce children and adults to God and Jesus.
2. Use the natural setting and the retreat approach to focus on a decision for Christ.
3. Advance Jesus’ Kingdom through a positive outdoor camping environment.
4. Be the training model and outreach source for‘troubled’ children before
they become part of the court system.

After 50 years, Boys Ranch could close
Let's embrace change as we welcome and support Camp KORP!
Camp KORP's innovative ideas will aid to redefine what it takes to be a positive influence on all of our
youths of today. You can be part of it too, simply contact me by email and we will discuss next steps.
