SWORD INFO OFFICER 3 long with' sixteen. stop's. . the sumer marks the end of
Point Farms. That's the On-
tario Provincial Parkt about six
miles north of Goderich. It's
. also. the scene of one of the
most energetic, and intriguing":
SW�O.,R.D. projects:
,w,O,R.D.? That's, Students
Working On Resource Develop-
ments, a part of the Ontario •
Governmend's summer student
employment program, `Ex-
perience /74.
By the end of,;June some six
S,W.O.R.L7. students may very
well prove td" be the pioneers of
a different kind of . Provincial .
Park. Explains 20-year'old
Kathy • Dunsmore, Visitor Ser-
vices Programs Director, Point
Farms is "the testing grounds
for new park ideas.” A creative
playground, fitness drill, and
nature and pleasure trait Then
'there's, the complete reassem-
bling of park brochures, and
also the ` .reation •of a recreation -
centre within the.. park's old
barn.
But that's just the floor plan.
Bryan iter Haar Romeny, 19, a
second year student at Q'ueen's
University' expounds, "There's.
'great things in store for the
«Camper," he . says; ;
He hit self is busy ex.aming
the plant and wildlife and finds
the area "quite amazing.".
"After you get around` it's un-
believeably interesting," he •
said.y ,
There's. also 'the promise of
slide presentations to campers
during •the summer -This rests
in the Capable' hands of 23: -
year -old Wayn%„Zplmer, a fifth
year student or Architecture at
University of Toronto.'
.'Explains Wayne, "one of the
presskr,t;ati9ns is.. the park
wi both. people in it. Right'naw
I'm constructing point form
N
.: scri'pts."
"It's a cardio' ascular fitness
drill, not a mukular one. Bach,
stopwill display . a sign, ' in-
dicating certain exercises to
do." •
• The S.W.nQ.R.D. students are
also attempting to educate ,the
camper concerning weather,
especially-' the children'', as
various kinds of weather in-
strurnents will .be..constructed
and. the camper will be able to •
keep a weather 'log. '
, Then for the nature lover,
there's the pleasut'e trail. It's a
different concept of„ nature
trails. Most nature trails
di'°splay a variety of signs. .
Kathy admits, "We're trying
,to get away. from that. �`‘
Their sigrfs may just point
ou,t interesting items, but the
camper may find himself
racking' his" brains to, identify
the item. But never fear cam•.
•' pers, says Bryan; "I'll be more
,than happy to•accompany (hem
along the trail. It'll help me out
too, as I have to go around and
check punts by • their flowers
anyway^"
'ButY�pierhaps the greatest ef-
fort of all may be revealed with
the recreational centre located
within( t;he park's barn. Already
work has commenced, Garnet; of
all description - indoor and
outdoor, for all ages - are
rapidly filling -the centre.
"Merry games,"- says Kathy,
"will be loaned 'out to the cam -
Bryan is sure that, alt the .
• projects will prove "enjoyable
to the whole family." •
"Should they like to help,
we'd be more thanhappy to
receive it," . he said.
"Everyday there's!more and
more," says Wayne.
".'It's' a 'fairiv good effort in -
working together, adds Bryan.
There's no doubt that it is,
Wayne was ecstatic when he
discovered such a 'program
existed. "It was quite close to
�ca:z what I wantedto do," he said.
