ORONO — Camp CaPella, a Lucerne facility that provides summer camp programming for children and adults with developmental or physical disabilities, will benefit from an April 26 5K run sponsored by the University of Maine Navy ROTC unit. All proceeds will go directly to Camp CaPella to support its summer activities.

“Camp CaPella serves an important need in our communities, and we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to help its staff and volunteers meet their admirable goals,” says Capt. James Settele, the NROTC commanding officer at UMaine and Maine Maritime Academy. “All of our students are looking forward to the opportunity to help our friends and neighbors enjoy a beautiful Maine summer on Phillips Lake.”

The race will start at 9 a.m. on April 26, beginning at the University of Maine Field House in Orono. Race information and an entry form are on the Camp CaPella website at http://www.campcapella.org/new-25.htm.
