The camp, which is directed by Craig Smith and Jennifer Lang, has been in operation for four years and has progressed steadily.

Not only do the counsellors think the camp is improving, the kids do too.

Ten-year-old Andrew Osborne says: "We do more things, like kayaking. We didn't do that last year, but we are going to do it next week. That makes it better.'' Mr. Smith stresses that he does not want the children bored so he has an outing and a guest speaker planned for every week. Some outings include going to Nonsuch Island, Devil's Hole, Marsh Tours, and Fort St. Catherine.

Most of the children are anticipating that one of the guest speakers will be a member of the Inline Skaters. That does not mean they do not want to see the Police Officers, a Fire Officer, and someone from the Jason Project.

While at the camp's main location, the children have fun doing Arts-n-Crafts, participating in sports activities, and swimming. Every Monday the kids enjoy jumping around on a Fun Castle.

The summer camp is so organised that even if the children get hungry they have a choice of hot foods which they can purchase for only $2 a meal! The fun does not end there.

Mr. Smith says next year he hopes to have a teen summer camp for youngsters from 12 to 15 years of age. He says he feels that this age group is in a tight spot. They are not old enough to work and not young enough to be in any other summer camp.

He explains this camp will focus on leadership and team working skills which does not mean listening to a lecturer every day. It will be the exact opposite of regular summer day camps. The teen campers will go on a field trip every day.

And Mr. Smith says mothers and fathers need not worry. If parents have an activity they would like to suggest, a questionnaire has been made just for them.

Applications are accepted in February so spaces may be limited.
