"It was not possible to postpone or cancel the event, since many of our people were already enroute to the camp when the flooding started. We appreciated the cooperation of the Black Hawk County Board of Conservation Conservation as we scrambled to find a new place and get it ready for everybody. . "The key to making an International Camporee successful successful is volunteer labor by many people," Hoogeveen concluded. "Not only did the volunteers work hard for many months before the campout, but they also did some excellent last-minute work to overcome the water water problems. "Campers participants from Michigan kept a close eye on systems and logistics of this year's Camporee. The next Cadet Camporee will be held near Grayling, MI, in 1993. ; There was a tie for the Grand Champion Miniature Gladiolus Award between Durham Region Society President Sam VanCamp, right, and N.A.G.C.

There are six instructors in total as well as a storyteller storyteller who pays a visit once during the two week long camp. Cindy said the storyteller tells her own tales about 1 knights and maidens and life in medieval times. "The kids are mesmerized by her," she said. The children are taught by two different instructors each day. But, in addition to the hands-on work, they play games based on art and visit the park at Soper Creek daily during their lunch. "They have a lot of fun," Cindy said. When you walk into the VAC, you can immediately see some of the reasons why the participants enjoy this camp. A giant sculpture of a dragon, a joint project by all camps, sits in the centre of the room. The walls in the centre are filled with paint- : ings and drawings of medieval medieval scenes the campers have worked on. Campers each make up booklets where they can write medieval stories, draw pictures and store their lithoprints. lithoprints. Cindy explained that all the campers' supplies are given to them. Therefore they don't have to bring any equipment. Sne stresses that the camp isn't similar to other camps where children are sent during the summer. "They come here to learn," she said explaining that that is exactly what they do. Campers are between the •age of five and 12 and, Cindy said, they each receive receive a lot of attention. "There is always two people people to help them," she said: an instructor and herself. At the end of the two week camp, the kids get to enjoy a medieval _ feast where they bake their food and dress to resemble kings and queens and princesses and knights.
