Summer Camps 
There weren’t any summer camps when you were 
young. . . . Did you ever see a real modern exam¬ 
ple?. . . Have your children had the unique ad¬ 
vantages that a summer camp offers? . . .Work. . . . 
Fun. . . Health. . . . Let’s talk about it. 
At the Summer Resort— 
T HE young girl in the average summer resort is a pathetic spec¬ 
tacle as she listlessly wanders here and there, reading saccharine 
novels, indulging in chocolates or awe-inspiring sundaes. Despite 
all that mothers can do, dress becomes of the utmost importance, 
and one’s friends are apt to be chosen for their dancing ability. 
The whole atmosphere is grown up, artificial—and, of the best of 
it. the girl knows nothing. She isn’t old enough. But she’s quite 
of an age to copy the less desirable features... .Hardly the way to 
build up mental and physical health for the coming school term. 
The case of the boy isn’t any better. Maybe it’s worse. It’s so 
hard to be primitive with all the phonographs going! And it’s so 
hard to be happy and clean at the same time; to be quiet enough 
to stay in the hotel and noisy enough to keep from being dead. 
Hotels never were made for boys, anyhow—not real ones. 
While, Out at Camp— 
/^OMPARE such a summer with a vacation of happy, active, 
'—' overflowing days, of evenings gathered around a camp fire for 
which one has helped to bring the logs, while old songs are sung, 
stories told, and banjos and guitars tinkle merrily. Clothes are 
simple, whether the camp is for boys, or girls, or children. Social 
distinctions simply don’t exist, once the necessary selection has been 
made as to those admitted. Hours are regulated according to the 
demands for growing things, not of adults. There is the inspired 
wholesome guidance of well-trained competent councilors. And as 
for things to do-! 
Supervised Work 
H ANDICRAFTS such as carpentry, batiking, weaving, garden¬ 
ing, camp fire cooking, are all taught—so as to make them 
play. In each, patience is taught too, and observation, and stick-to- 
it-iveness, and the desire to do a worth-while thing right. 
Wooderafts 
VERY girl, as well as every boy, should know a few of the 
things that made our pioneer forebears such independent peo¬ 
ple-How not to lose your way in the woods. How not to 
starve because there aren’t people to wait on you, or stores to buy 
from. The names of birds, flowers, trees—these things are learned. 
Supervised Play 
TNSTEAD of fear of the water—-often increased by a mother’s 
. worry—camp life brings the necessary expert instruction. There 
is perfect form in one’s swimming. The same is true of tennis, 
hockey—all outdoor sports. And, best of all, good sportsmanship 
grows to be second nature. 
Wholesome Food 
LpVEN the best hotels provide highly-seasoned food, hard to 
digest. Adults can stand it. But it builds a poor foundation 
for the after-life of a child. The food in camp, on the contrary, is 
simple, well prepared, bountiful There is a camp doctor, and 
trained nurses to study the child—though few children can resist 
normality in the open air. 
Organization 
' I ' HE schools know the value of having children return to class 
A who can go through the routine normally—doing stated things 
at stated times. It conserves the energy of the teacher, the resili¬ 
ence of the pupil, not to have those battles that come as a result 
of the let-down discipline of a disorganized summer... .The child 
who has been at camp comes back to work with a spring! 
But why go on? You see it. of course. Do you 
want the name of a hoy’s camp? 
A children’s camp? Write to 
A girl’s camp?
