- -t-. a~W-L W j - -, Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 25, 1990-9 Orono Guides enjoy super Guide Camp week If you are a camper, and ac- customed to crowded campsites, you often dream of a place to camp that has - a private lake, for swimm- ing and boating - a flat grassy area with tall trees round the edges, sur- rounded by gentle sloping hills, pure running water, and a dry place to cook meals. Such a place, and not in a dream, was provided through the kindness of Bob and Pam Allin, at their home just north of Orono, for the annual lst Orono Girl Guide Camp, last week. Twenty-two local Girl Guides and nine Pathfinders spent all of the week at the camp learning new crafts, skills and conservation techniques. They also mastered how to cook three meals outdoors, under trying conditions. The in- struction in conservation skills was provided by staff from the Ganaraska Conservation Area. - A husband and wife team, Jim and Tranal Hutchinson, brought canoes to the camp and utilized the lake to teach the nine Pathfinders basic A level canoeing. Local swim coach, Mrs. Gail Ar- nott, taught the 2nd year Girl Guides water safety and rescue pro- cedures from a boat on the lake, which enabled them to secure the Water/Safety/Rescue Badge of proficiency. Other Girl Guide badges earned during the week were, the Keep Fit Badge, Wildflower Badge, the Camping Badge, and the Outdoor Cook Badge. The normal day for the Guides began each morning with Reveille at 7:30 a.m. followed by the Canadian Flag raising ceremony. Three nutritious meals and three snack periods, provided the required nourishment to reach the day's end campfire and sing-song, before "lights-out" at Il p.m. An added bonus provided on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, was a bus trip Outdoor tree, plant and pond tour by Gord Mills tional and enjoyable evening.

Mid-week, during the camp, the Girl Guides and Pathfinders were joined for the day by ten lst Orono Brownies and six of the Orono Sparks. The "theme" for the day was Treasure Island and Pirates, aboard the S.S. Espanola under a pirate flag, with Captain Hook, Long John Silver and his sea-going friends. The evening fun was at- tended by parents and friends, who enjoyed a campfire sing-song. The cooks for the camp week were: Gillian Stubbs and Carol Francis. The Guide Leader was Pamela Werry, and the Pathfinders were under the leadership of Pam Allin. Help each day with the pro- ceedings was provided by a roster system of daily rotating parents. The special Eureka tents used by the Girl Guides, were purchased at a cost of $500 each, with money from fundraising cheese sales. Thanks are extended to the com- munity for their support of the cheese project each year. by Gord Mills -The 1990 Warriors' Day Parade will be held on Saturday, August 18th, at the Canadian National Ex- hibition, starting at 10:30 a.m. The Guest of Honour this year will be Colonel F.A.
