When my oldest daughter was 4 or so, we used to take her to Carnation Farms, which was then a research farm and open to the public. The private gardens were stunning. After Nestle bought the farm, they closed it to the public. Paul Newman to revamp historic Carnation Farm YouNewsTV™ Historic Carnation Farm is being cast in a new role by movie star Paul Newman. "I've never seen any spot that any camp has been in that has the potential that this does. My god, it's stunning," said Newman. The stunning setting is about to become one of his Hole in the Wall camps for sick or disabled kids. He made the big announcement on the lush grounds being bought from Nestle. "If I'm going to leave a legacy it's not going to be my films or anything else that I've done politically. It's going to be these camps," said Newman. It's going to be called Camp Korey. Named after the son of the camp's co-founder and Costco Vice President Tim Rose. He came up with the idea just before Korey lost his battle with bone cancer two years ago. "Korey is going to live on out here and in everything that we do," said Rose. "Every child who comes to Camp Korey will know the story or Korey Rose." Like the all the other Hole in the Wall Camps, Camp Korey will be free to any sick or disabled kid who wants to come. Danny Kayne was 12 when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. He says going to camp was key to his recovery. "My concerns were not necessarily was I going to die. It was what activity was I going to do today. Was it fishing or boating, was I going to climb a wall?" said Kayne. Newman built his first camp back in the 80s. "I just hoped the camp we were building would survive let alone. They're growing like mushrooms now. It's wonderful," said Newman. And a beautiful place for kids to come and just be kids.
