Also there were seven adult volunteer \ leaders (4 men and 3 ladles), seven Extension workers (3 l men and 4 ladiesf, nurse, life ; guard, recreation leader, and I two cooks. ■ We know of no other camp * where youngsters get so much • for $11.50; for example 14 f, meals, handcraft material, insurance, transportation, also 1 out of this fee we must pay ; ihe cooks, nurse, recreation ; leader, and life guard! There was always a plenty of good wholesome food prepared well Morning classes included: archery, crafts, swimming, and Building the 4-H Ladder. Instruction in Archery was given by Ben Weddle, County Agent of Warren, Lyle Updike and members of the Two Rivers Archery Club of Front Royal. This organization generously and unexpectedly donated two trophies which were awarded girls and boys contest winners.
Classes were free choice, however all were asked to take Song and Game Leadership under Miss Linda Palme; a student of Longwood College.
In crafts there were: Wood Work, Rope Work, Spatter Painting, Pebble Craft, and Electric Lamps to choose from. Articles produced from scrap lumber were useful and in most cases very attractive.

Rope work was in halter making which involves the various splices. This attracts boys and girls conducting beef, dairy and horse projects. Wood craft products include gun racks, book ends, decorative fish, vanity racks, etc. Each member had to use originality of design, assemble, sand and finish his own product. Each of the four tribes made a display of its crafts which were judged to determine who won a notch on their Totem Pole. Crafts were under the super, vision of Miss Agnes Shirley, Home Demonstration Agent and Carl Gerkin, Assist. Courv ty Agent of Frederick assisted by men and women leaders of Warren and Frederick Coirn ties. Miss Susan Baker of Winchester was life guard and gave instruction in water safety, swimming and life saving. These classes were divided in three groups: The Rocks, The Polly Wogs and the Fish. W. A.
