See CD-DA. ), which represents manufacturers of copper used in a variety of building products, recently contributed 6,000 square feet of copper sheet metal for the largest "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" renovation to date - a summer camp in Southwest Missouri for children with special needs.

In just one week's time, the cast and crew of ABC's top-rated television show, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," worked their magic at Camp Barnabas in Purdy (population: 1,103).

A new home was constructed for camp founders, Paul and Cyndy Teas, who purchased the 60-year-old camp using funds from their own retirement and savings accounts. However, the camp makeover didn't stop there. When the dust settled, Camp Barnabas had two additional new buildings, which will be used for a state-of-the-art media center and volunteer bunkhouse bunk·house

"When we heard of this very worthwhile project we responded with a 'ton' of copper," says Ken Geremia, communications director, CDA. "Actually, it was three tons of copper in all. We hope the Teas will enjoy their new home and that campers will benefit from the quality of the copper products provided."

CDA provided the copper sheet, which was fabricated and installed by Cowin Custom Sheetmetal of Bella Vista Bella Vista (Spanish meaning "beautiful sight") is the name of several places in the world:

, Ark. Daniel Cowin, president, said the standing seam roof they installed will keep the Teas' new home looking good for many years to come. An exceptional building material, which never rusts like other metals, copper develops an attractive blue-green patina as it ages. This helps protect the roof against wind, rain and snow.

Three new Camp Barnabas buildings were also outfitted with copper plumbing guaranteed to last for 50 years under warranty.

Every summer more than 1,000 children attend Camp Barnabas where they enjoy a traditional summer camp experience with horseback riding horseback riding: see equestrianism. , canoeing, hiking, swimming, rock climbing rock climbing Sports medicine An 'extreme sport' in which the participant climbs rock formations, with or without ropes Injury risk Fractures, abrasions, death.
