As a part of that camp there are two large bunkhouses de- 

 signed for sheltering the boys and girls brought to the country 

 for the few weeks of outdoor existence that adds so much to 

 their lives. This entire camp is supplied by a water pressure 

 system and everything else necessary for sanitation. 



Alongside the bunkhouses there is the kitchen and dining 

 room, the bathhouse equipped for showers and the hospital build- 

 ing erected for handling any emergency cases that might develop 

 with 300 or 400 youngsters participating in the outing. Then 

 there are the buildings for housing the camp's executive officers. 



PRESIDENT REINBERG AT CHILDREN'S OUTING CAMP. 



Still another feature of Camp Reinberg, named for the first 

 president of the Board of Forest Preserve Commissioners, is a 

 large ice house by which the camp managers are able to furnish 

 that most necessary commodity in the lives of children with- 

 standing the hot summer weather. 



Within a stone's throw of the camp buildings there has been 

 established an athletic field that has proved a delight to the young 

 and old visiting the preserve in the quest of recreation. In 

 addition to facilities for staging all sorts of field games there is 

 a regulation baseball diamond.
