By BOB ScHROEDBR
Exeter's hard-working Recreation Director.
Don .Gravett has conic up with an enterprising
and novel idea as part of the local summer -play-
ground activities this year.
We are speaking, of Nurse, nt "Boom's NM
Camp". The camp, for children eight to 13 years
of age. was held last week at the United Church
camp .grounds north of Got:lei-jell and was operated
by We Exeter Recreation Committee in tio-opel'a•
lion with, the Kinsmen club and ea:, Limier the
supervision of the. Bee Director.
We are able to speak with sonic authority
on the event as we were present at the camp. We
are happy to report that we thoroughly enjoyed
the entire week at camp and from the many favor-
able comments and expressions of satisfaction from
the youngsters attending we are ,ure they were
also well-pleased with the new feature
The camp was the first of its kind for the
Exeter group :and as can he expected there were
a few difficulties that arose because of inexper-
ience, However. they were all handled very capably
by the director and his staff and the many varied
and interesting events at the camp went off very
smoothly.
As for the camp activities themselves, there
was a well-rounded program of events in which all
of the children participated. Along with the numer-
ous planned items, the campers had free time to
enjoy the many facilities offered at the camp.
The most popular area of the camp grounds
was the new swimming pool and all the children
were able to get to at least two hours swimming
each day. Swimming director Bonnie Turvey ar-
ranged a fine program for the young swimmers
and she is to be congratulated for the fine job she
did in stressing water safety to the youngsters.
The entire camp staff should be commend-
ed for their work in keeping the children occupied
during the day. Anniarie Kraft, Joan Dettmer.
Linda Johnston and Judy Tennant instructed the
campers in different crafts throughout the week
and they also looked after most of the other events
during the day's activities.
Along with the regular daily events such
as swimming, crafts. vespers and campfire pro-
grams, the camp director. Don "Boom" Gravett.
varied the camp routine with one or two special
events each clay for the enjoyment of the young
campers. Included in this list of special features
were scavenger and treasure hunts. a hike, an egg-
throwing contest and an organized pillow fight.
Two events that proved especially popular
with the campers were a swim meet and a track
meet and practically all of the children participated
in each one.
All was not fun and games for the young-
sters, however, and they were given a few respons-
ibilities during their stay. The members of each
cabin had to clean up their dwelling for a daily
cabin inspection and each camper took his or her
turn working for a short period each clay in the
dining-hall.
In summing up, we would like to extend
congratulations to the groups responsible for this
very worthwhile project They have provided the
youngsters of the area with a very healthy and
fun-filled outlet for their summer enjoyment and
under the able supervision of the camp staff it
could not help but turn out: successfully.
The popularity of the camp can be seen
from the fact that at first "Boom" had figured on
probably 30 children making the trip north. By
camp day almost 80 campers had registered for
the outing.
In fact, the feature proved so popular that
the local recreation director has rented the grounds
for another can:}) next .y ear at the same time. Bet-
