Youth
By SANDRA ARANT
Mail Tribune Stafi Writer
Each year hundreds of chil
dren leave the valley to spend
from four days to two weeks
in the cool green forests sur
rounding southern Oregon
lakes.
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.
Age requirements for Camp
Diamond lake are from ciRht

In operation from July 1

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. 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.

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

Meals are served either in
the lodge, or provided

Recreatlonai Facilities
Recreational and instruct

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.
