This is possible because youth camps are provided J through the efforts of area or ganizations. Although the 2 groups sponsoring the camps I are different, their aims and goals are for the most part ! : the same. Each camp seeks to develop in the youngsters a sense of Independence, responsibility, and capability of making deci sions. This is accomplished through various techniques, amonR them camping out, cooking out, and lessons various sports. Requirements to participate in summer camping are not stringent. Most camps call for the child to be a member of the sponsoring organization, and age limits are from about 8 years through senior high school. Most major youth organiza tions in the valley operate some type of a camp. Among these is a camp spon sored by the Medford Young Men's Christian association lo cated at Diamond lake, 85 miles east of Medford. Camp Diamond lake has a capacity of 100 campers. Physical facilities at the camp include sleeping and rat ing arrangements. A main din ing hall is provided for the youngsters, who sleep In cab ins. However, the physical fa cilities of the camp are not the most important factors. Time Outdoors Campers spend by far the greater portion of their time outdoors. Many activities are organized, both for campers' instruction and pleasure Among outdoor facilities are a waterfront and sports equip ment to go with it. Besides water sports, camp ers are encouraged to use arens designated for riflery, archery, and other activities. Lessons are given In each of the sports. Instruction is also given in survival training, so each camper will know how to protect himself if lost in the forest, according to Odd Bjerke, camp director. Care is taken that all chil dren are under the supervi sion of capable leaders. To in sure this, counselors Hre re quired to he college students or adults. A standard of one counselor to each eight camp ers Is maintained, so each child has proper supervision. A staff of about 16 adults operate the YMCA camp. In training camp coun selors, the Y depends on pre vious camping experience, as well Is on a short training program. Sessions for boys at the camp are In length of 10, six, or four days. In addition, a six-day girls session Is held. These are operated In July and early August.

OREGON Before reaching camp, each group of boys decides wheth er it wants to stay in an eight man or a two man unit. On arrival at camp, the troop is assigned to the type of accom odations the group majority wants. As a result of this, the use of counselors as guidance members of the camp adminis tration is limited. Instead, as sistants are used to assist in waterfront activities, other sports activities, and general organization. There are 13 as sistants. Swimming instruction is provided by a qualified water front director. Butterfield said there are IS canoes, 20 rowboats, and two sailboats available. More sailboats will be provided, he said. A staff of five works on the waterfront. It consists of a di rector and four assistants. Rifle Range Facilities Other activities for Scouters include rifle range facilities for .22 caliber rifles, and a mo-skeet range for small bore trapshooting. Instruction is offered In archery, and a range 's pro vided for those who want to use it. Activities in other Scoutcraft areas, such as the use of axes, ropes, and com passes, also are planned. Butterfield mentioned that one of the most popular activi ties at Camp McLoughlin is the obstacle course. The sense of competition among the bovs is keen, and outdoor sports encourage this. The first week of camp Is for staff training. After this, five sessions of six days each are scheduled. Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts are eligible to attend the camp, Butterfield added. Cub Scouts, however, are not allowed to attend. Along with many other ac tivities, 4-H groups of the county also operate a summer camp. The camp is located at Howard Prairie, about 35 miles southeast of Medford, according to Jerry Brrig, coun ty exlension aEent.

Main 772 to Practice Responsibility Although physical facilities at the camp are somewhat lim ited, 4-H club officials expect about 80 youngsters to attend the camp between July 17 and 20. Facilities include a cook ing cabin, where meals are prepared, although all meals are served outdoors. Campers use sleeping bags in a tent village. This camp, because of the lack of develop ed facilities, lasts four days only. Instruction Offered Instruction is offered in safe boating on Howard Prairie lake. Also planned are such ac tivities as swimming, hiking, fishing and crafts. The camp is staffed with 12 adult leaders. In addition, there are counselors in a standard ratio of one to each e,ight campers. The young counselors are 15 years old and over, and most have worked with younger chil dren in 4-H work as junior leaders or in other positions. In addition, they attend a counselor training session. This camp has been held at varying locations since 1942. Little effort has been made to develop facilities in any one spot since one of the main purposes is to develop respon sibility. The youngsters are offered as much freedom as possible, with only limited supervision It is felt by 4-H leaders, Brog said, that this is one of the few opportunities young peo- j pie have to make decisions on i their own. He feels this is an j important part of adequate j training to be an adult, and the camp is run purposely to attempt to instill independ ence in the campers. It is a rough-it, free from restrict ions camp. I ... Across the lake from Camp : McLoughlin at Lake of the Woods is Camp Low Echo, or ganized for the Rogue Valley i Council of Girl Scouts. !

A large campfire circle is available for use by the whole camp, and each unit has its own small campfire circle. Counselors at Low Echo are required to be 18 years old or more. They have had camp ing experience, and are usu ally college girls. In addition, What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a station wagon before? Breaking traditions is a kind of a thing with Volkswagen. They once introduced a car that looked like a beetle. So they felt that a Volkswagen Station Wagon ought to bring something new to the parly, too. This one seats 8 people or a small elephant. And It's only 9 inches longer than a Volkswagen Sedan. For elephants, play pens and pianos, there's a doorway almost 4 feet wide. And for long things like a tree, you get a hole in the roof. It not only lets the tree out but the sunshine in. You get the headroom of a bus. And 23 windows to look out of. And a sun-roof. (Moon-roof after dark.) And for $54.00 more, a walk-thru seat so you can easily swat the children. What does it sell for? With regular seat, $2897. Maybe you've never "seen a station wagon before, at that.

Their experience is both recreational and educational under the guidance of adult leaders. ,-.! 1811 r I SJ' w 1 C 1962 VOLKSWAGEN 0 AM(a.lCa, INC. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE " i net, hi o o
