Many of the plans are now well underway regarding win- ter recreation as operated last winter. The outdoor educational development starts this November on a monthly basis for a number of schools in the area as a pilot porject with more schools using the camp as o the first of 1978. In September of 1978 the forest centre will be operational on a weekly basis for classes of up) to forty students on a residential basis.
