Julien C Hyer campers

Introduction by Lion Wayne Orlowski


 Julien C Hyer

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.

Speakers Bio: Glenn Laughlin is from the Flower Mound Family Lions Club and is the traveling coordinator of the J. C. Hyer lions Camp.  Glenn is the 'father away from home" for the campers during their stay in Texas.  Glenn will introduce the campers to us and tell us about the campers experiences this year and also some interesting stories about past year's campers and the difference the camp has made in their lives and the lives of the Texas host families.
