Austin Founder Lions Club
The Austin Downtown Founder Lions Club will host a four-day visit by the thirty international campers who are participating in the 2011 Julien C. Hyer Youth Camp coordinated by the Lions J.C. Hyer organization in Dallas, Texas. The Austin visit will be from July 11 through our club lunch meeting on July 14 where we will recognize the program and the campers.
The Youth Camp and Exchange Program was inaugurated in 1961 by the International Lions Organization and the Julien C. Hyer Camp has been serving the world since 1973.
The camp charge from the International Lions Club is to promote understanding and tolerance within this international group of young adults (ages 17 to 20) by experiencing first hand the culture and the family setting of the host country.
The camp runs for 5 weeks with visits in the Dallas area, Denton, Austin, and Lubbock, Texas. During the Austin leg of their visit to the USA, our club provides a home for the campers during their stay and an agenda that shows off the ‘Heart of Texas’ to these leaders of tomorrow.
The Austin leg of the five-week camp emphasizes the importance of the government, education and culture institutions of Texas that we feel can only be done in the Austin area.
