GET OUR PRICE ISEPORE YOU .UY nell ros z B Ltd abs • ENVOY 235 0660 Exeter 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.
