"The Camp has been
steadily growing in
popularity during the last
two directorships," Mr..
Smith said He an-
ticipates another full
program this summer.
Besides such activities
as swimming, canoeing,
hiking, archery and
orienteering, the camp
offers periods of worship
and religiou's instruction.
"Well, some people call
it religious instruction,"
Mr.' mi sa ut-we -
call it an eye-opener."
"It's kind of a fun way
of both learning about
their faith and ex-
periencing their faith.".
Yet the camp is not
limited to members of the
Anglican Church.
"We get a number of
denominations
represented during the
summer," Mr. Smith
said.
With rising costs, Mr.
Smith expects that fees
($66 for, a junior camper
this year) will have to be
increased slightly. The
