A Favor Is Returned 25 Years Later
Published: July 17, 2006
Twenty five years ago, a young man with Cerebral Palsy learned to walk after receiving help at the Bay Cliff Health Camp. Now, that man is helping the camp in return.
Thirty-three-year-old Dan Pestka, along with the generous support of his father and Oberstar Construction, sponsored a paved trail at the camp that leads down to the Lake Superior shoreline. The trail has created a new lookout point to the lake.
The total cost for the project is $145,000. The camp’s director says if it wasn’t for people like the Pestka’s, Bay Cliff wouldn’t be able to provide so much for the children.
Tim Bennett with Bay Cliff says, “This is the vision. The vision is helping kids to live full lives and to do all the things other kids take for granted. How about going to the beach for an afternoon to enjoy a nice warm day on the shore of Lake Superior? That’s a part of the vision where we’re opening up those opportunities to kids.”
Dan Pestka and his father, Norman, cut the ribbon for the new trail and lookout point at a dedication ceremony this weekend.
