These camps are not conducted for profit. The objective is not money, but character--the growth and de- velopment of the boys and girls through such contacts and life as is had when a group lives together in the out-of-doors under wise leader- ship. There are two camp periods of 18 days each--the boys' camp from June 23 to July 10, and the girls' from July 14 to July 31. They are under the personal direction of that able leader of young people, Dr. J. W. F. Davies, the director of Community House. Mrs. Eloise W. Wortley, as- sistant to the director of Community House, is the assistant in the girls' camp. They are aided by competent helpers--college men and women--as councilors. Extension of Center Work These camps are an extension of Community House work. The Yee is so modest that they could not operate en such basis as they now do without the financial aid given by such a "benefit" as the one planned April 14. The in- terest and support of the many friends of these camps makes possible certain scholarships for the boys and girls, and is of great help in securing the needed movable equipment. Indian Hill Camp is on Lake Hamlin, Mich., 11 miles north of Ludington, in one of the healthiest spots in the United States. The camp site rises above the lake in a clearing on a wooded plateau. Tents fitted with wooden floors are pitched on this protected spot. The surrounding country is rolling, sandy and wooded. The sleeping tents are fitted with iron beds, comfortable springs and mattresses. In addition to these there are cabins for the council- ors and helpers, a large mess hall, a lodge with a fireplace, recreation tent and an office. The camp has its own ice house, boat houses, motor boat, piers, diving raft, and tennis court. The land buildings are owned by Dr. Davies, who donates the use of them for this purpose. In addition to small canoes and row boats, the camp has two large war canoes, capable of hold- ing the entire group. This makes pos- sible some teamwork, as well as de- lightful trips to various points of in- terest. No camper, who has had the experience will ever forget the trips to the sand-dunes in the late after- noon, and the sunsets over Lake Michi- gan, and paddling home by moonlight, or the joys of the quiet hour just pre- ceding the camp-fire, when the shad- ows lengthen across the lake, and the "camp" goes out on the water, sing- ing to the dip of the blades.

The aim is to make a real contribution to character leadership. The atmosphere is truly religious without being formal. Camp stimulates resourcefulness and the habit of initiative and activity. The health of the boys and girls is carefully looked after. There is pure drinking water from a deep well. The food is the best. There is a plentiful supply of fresh fruits, vegetables and milk. The camp life builds up health and strength by good food, many hours of sleep and happiness, and by abun- dant activity under wise direction. Fach dav is thoughtfully planned and carefully supervised. Periods for construction work, instruction, swim- ming, rest and recreation follow each other regularly, supplemented by hikes, games, and special trips to nearby points of interest. The camper is encouraged to do things on his own initiative as well as to learn teamwork with the group. The camps are limited in number to about 30 each. Camp-Fire Ends Day A camp-fire ends . each day, and around its freindly glow the group gathers in the evening and reviews the best from the day's events. After the camp stunts and songs are given fol- lowed by a talk by "Chief" Davies, as the children love to 'call him, the campers go up the winding trail to their tents. for 'long hours of sleep. Many boys and girls in Winnetka can testify as to the joys of the camp and what it has done for them. JEP Absolute Safety--Hart Heat--Absolute Safety "Si AYRES-TEFFT CO. WINNETKA, ILL.
