A Becker High School student taking an anthropology class at St. Cloud State University has enlisted the students at Camp Opportunity in a project that has them working on fleece blankets to be donated to the Tri-County Humane Society, according to Director Camie Ihrke.
Sophie Stephens, a BHS junior, needed a class project for her anthropology studies at SCSU, and she looked for something that would mesh with her love of animals, She has been a volunteer at the since last fall, she said, and the need for blankets for the animals there is always present.
Joining Stephens in the project Wednesday afternoon were her mother, Lisa Vogt, BHS student volunteer Paige Artmann, SCSU student Alex Stoll, Camp Opportunity volunteer Anita Kolstad and Director Ihrke. The team helped the student volunteers cut and decorate the blankets and prepare them for delivery to the shelter in the near future.
