 give the viewpoint of a camp.

 nouncements of special activities for the day; hikes, 

 nature trips, etc. Announcement will be made of the

 been previously posted, so that it will not interfere with 

 anyone's plans for hikes and fishing trips for that par- 

 ticular day.)

 ing quarters in order for morning inspection. 



8.45 A.M. Morning inspection.

 day, hiking parties leave for destinations, mail de- 

 livered, campers write letters or read, children in the 

 wading pool, men play horse show, older children on 

 the field playing baseball, father and son starting out 

 to fish (they should have been out much earlier), nurse 

 has open hour for consultation, "peelers" for the day

 within the grasp of the imagination of the group in 

 charge.

 the "day's work" in camp.
