They have a keen interest in games and sports, such as table tennis, baseball, swimming, and they love a barbecue. It is very interesting to observe the girls in the pool. The counsellors teach them different swimming styles Each of the six comfortable cabins accommodates twelve campers and two counsellors. The walls of the cabins show that the girls are TV fans, for their favourite stars are everywhere. There are twentyone buildings on the camp grounds, including a recreation hall where films are enjoyed, the infirmary, craft building and the cafeteria. They have a stockade, which is an enclosure of logs where they have campfire programs, sing-songs and vespers.
