Camp Bellaleo


		Lakeshore Lions Club The Lakeshore Lions Club was founded in 1932 as a service club and has had a bountiful history. It is a legacy of a special group of local men whose dedication lifted them to great heights of personal involvement in the affairs of their community. The founding members of the Lakeshore Lions Club knew there was a great need in the community for a service organization. Since its inception, the Lion members have raised and donated in excess of $3,000,000 within the local area. The Lions have ownded and operated the Lakeshore Lions Arena since 1949, providing local hockey teams with an ice surface to play their games. The Lakeshore Lions acquired Camp Bellaleo in 2002 and are proud of their involvement in this venture. They also have provided funds for many other projects.
