Rufus Lynx entertained children of all ages on August 11, 2004 at Camp Bethelwoods in Rock Hill, SC. The Muscular Dystrophy Association sent 50 children with neuromuscular diseases to its annual summer camp at Camp Bethelwoods during the week of August 8, 2004. Rufus signed autographs and put smiles on the faces of all the campers. He was a huge hit with both the staff and kids!
