Instruction

Many of our camp leaders are college men and have the requisite scholarship to conduct the academic feature of the camp.  The instruction is very largely individual and is given in the morning and does not interfere with the recreation life.  The combination of study and recreation makes tutoring attractive and stimulating.

Subjects

Any subject in the grammar or high school curriculum.

Time

Two or three periods per week will be given to each subject.

Cost

One dollar per week will be charged for each subject.

An accurate record is kept of every boy being tutored, on a card (see illustration), and a duplicate sent to his parent at the close of the season.

Photography

To stimulate interest in photography, a contest is held during the latter part of the camping season for a cup, to be awarded to the boy securing the best collection of photographs of camp life.  The award is determined upon:  first, selection of subjects, and, second, execution of detail.  Ribbon awards are given for the best individual photograph in these three classes:  (a) portraits, (b) groups, (c) landscapes.  The regulations governing the contest are: 

1.  Exposure, developing, and printing must be the work of the exhibitor.

2.  Mounted or unmounted photographs may be submitted.

3.  All photographs must be handed in before 12 o’clock noon (date inserted).

For camps having good dark rooms, the following rules may be suggestive: 

1.  Key to the dark room must be returned to the office immediately after using room and locking same.

2.  If films are drying, inform the office of same, so that the next user may be notified and care taken not to disturb the films.

3.  Room must be kept clean:  (a) Do not wipe shelves with the hand towels. (b) Hang hand towels on nail provided. (c) Leave buckets and trays in clean condition. (d) Put paper, empty tubes, etc., in box provided for same and not upon the floor.

4.  Use only the buckets provided, and not those used for kitchen or camp purposes.

5.  Use only your own property and that provided by the camp, and never touch the property or films or plates of others.

Camp Paper

Every large camp has its official organ or camp paper.  An editorial board is appointed, and the doings of the camp recorded in a permanent manner through the weekly issue or reading of the paper.  Various names are given the paper, such as “The Camp Log,” “Dudley Doings,” “Seen and Heard,” “Wawayanda Whirlwind,” “The Maskwa,” “The Wyanoka Log,” “Kinoe Kamper.”  Some of these papers are printed and others are mimeographed and sold to the campers at five cents a copy.  Most of them, however, are written in a book and read at the camp fire.
