Trevor Askes, Dennis Lubbers, Joshua Luchies, Hermah Mulder and Nathan VandcrKlippe participated in a week-long campout called' "Cadet International Camporee," a primitive -style camp experience for 12 to 15 year-old boys. The camp was organized by 1.50 volunteer youth workers. from Reformed, Christian Reformed and Presbyterian churches in the south- west Michigan area. During the campout the par- ticipants lived in handmade shelters, cooked over open fires, and par- • tic ipatcd in several outdoor ac- tivities. An international organization of Cadet clubs called the Calvinist Cadet Corps, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, coordinated Camporee registration and planning among its 640 clubs and 15,000 members in the United States and Canada. The Cadet Camporee was one of the largest primitive style campouts ever staged in Michigan. In cooperation with the Michigan DNR, the Cadet, organization's volunteers laid out a temporary village with food • distribution, medical, sports, and transportation systems. The campers hosted an additional 3,000 visitors - mainly parents and family members - on July 25 for a special Sunday wor- ship service and noon meal with the campers. Daily activities included archery, orienteering, and riflery, glass etching craft, and an excursion to the five -mile long Mackinac Bridge and Fort Michilimackinac, a res- tored outpost of the United States of the early 1800s. The campout has an underlying religious tone, set by the churches that sponsor Cadet clubs. The camp chaplain emphasized, among other things, respect for the environment, careful stewardship of natural resources, and . personal respon- sibility for God's creation. Daily devotions were led by the Rev. Ron Noorman, a pastor from Holland, Michigan. The churches that sponsored the event are members of mainline denominations that trace their roots back to the Calvinistic branches of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Cadet International Camporees are held once every three years in various remote locations throughout North America:They expose boys to wilderness survival skills, conser- vation issues, environmental con- cerns and spiritual topics. Previous Camporees have been held in Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan, Washington, South Dakota, Califor- nia and Ontario. This year's event was the largest in the Cadet or- ganization's 41 -year history. Plan- ning for the 19966 Camporee has already begun with the selection of a site in the Canadian Rockies west of Calgary, Alberta. Most of the boys who attend the camp are between 12 and 15 years of age. Groups of 10 boys called "Cadres" form the basic social units That was the very first telephone message transmitted from Alexander Graham Bell to his assistant in the next room.
