Last year's camp theme was ' Yoel Bear in Jelly stone I'ark." Fifty-four Morrow county boys and Rlrls and ten counsellors enjoyed the three day outing In July. 411 club members between the apes of nine and thirteen are eligible for 411 Summer Camp each year. Camp counsellors are picked from older 411 members who are freshmen In high school or older. Every year campers have many varied activities while at their three-day camp. They have fun playing such sports as soft ball, volleyball and badminton. Classes on forestry, wild flowers, crafts, camp safety, outdoor cooking, and hiking as well as many others are provided to help campers appreciate and under stand the out-of-doors. While at 411 Summer Camp, campers often provide their own entertainment. Last year the first evening was devoted to story telling bv the camp coun sellors. Each counsellor told stories about Yogi Bear and his friends in Jellystone Park. The second evening, a movie called 'Hear Country" was shown to the campers. In addition to the movie, campers participated in various games, races and relays. The third night was stunt night. Each tent of campers put on a skit or a stunt which they had prepared while at camp. Much aughter was created by the var ious skits and stunts. On Sunday, the last day of amp, Kev. David uauer, Seventh-day Adventist minister, came to camp for the morning service. Following the Sunday service campers were given a ! choice of a tour to Coal Mine Hill to dig for fossils or a tour to hunt for wild flowers. On Sunday afternoon the parents came to camp for their children and helped to take the camp down and put it away for an other year. All 4-11 boys and girls between the ages of nine and thirteen who are interested in going to 4-H Summer Camp this year should mark July 12-15 on their calendar. These are the dates set for the 19C2 4-H Summer Camp. In addition to the camping fees paid by each camper, the 4-H I eaders Council heavily subsi dizes the camping program in Morrow county. Without the many hours of labor donated by 4-H leaders for improving the camp and the additional money for camp operation, 4-H boys and girls would not be able to participate In such a fine camp ing experience.
