The boys loved to hike
tribe , ent on many individual
hikes "of 10 boys each in areas
close to the camp area and twice
each period the e_ ce group
went on exploration tl kes aruumi
the entire property.
N'aturn lore was a perfectly natural
result of the camp program.
Boys caught many frogs and crayfish
and turtles and butterflies and
identified trees and "flew'tea and
shrubs. During the last period the
Sioux tribe, the seven year olds,
under the leadership of Dewey
Jackson, brought back to uur live
box a five-foot black snake• At
this point I would like to digress a
minute and talk about snakes. It
seems that copperheads have been
seen in the East Street area. They
do come down from the mountains
during long dry periods to get the
water from the lake• Many of our
hoyg and seVe?al of our leaders
a e of the parents were'
emotionMly npset by the thought
of encountering a snake. A week
before camp opened my son, aged
two and one half, had seen a black
snake about three feet long escaping
dawn a knot hole in the
barn and he had rnn to it and tried
to catch hold of it. The counsellors
who were at the camp at the
time for ka training session were
quite amazed at his apparent lack
of concern. I didn't bother to explain
to the counsellors that this
was due to the fact that hc had
probably never seen a snake before
but used the cxperieeee to got our
staff leaders to share with the
boys as they came to camp. the
knowledge that the great majority
of snakes on the property were of
the harmless variety. I think you
will find by t lking to any of the
leaders that were at camp this
summer that we did accomplish a
great deal in the field of nature
study through a very infurmal natm•e
study program.
Although there are probably
thousands of common cat fish or
bull heads in the waters of Confound
there are many
boys who have never seen any
you woukl have been interested to
have watched the boys at camp
one morning as we passed a live
bullhead around the entire group
and let each boy learn that tha
pectoral fins on the fish were
where the spines were and not in
the ugly looking whiskers in front.
We had anticipated that softball
. would be a maJor activity and provided
equipment and diamonds
for four camp teams• We did h'ave
some very "good games with close
scores and lots of enthusiasm but
most of the boys had had some
baseball in corner lots around town
and I were , enthuslas-
