PLANS READY FOR THE SECOND YEAR OF JOBILDUNC WOODCRAFT CAMP

THE EDITORS HAVE asked us to tell the alumni in 500 words "all about Camp Jobildunc." This looks like a large order in a small package, so, without further preliminaries. here goes:

Camp Jobildunc, the DOC's woodcraft camp for boys, is located on the eastern side of Mt. Moosilauke, in the development known during the remaining eleven months of the year as the Moosilauke Ravine Camp. It will be in its second year of operation this summer. This makes us decidedly a newcomer among the many oldestablished camps in New England. However, Ross McKenney, the Director of the camp, John Rand, the Head Counselor, and the members of the committee in charge have had many years' experience in boys camp work, so that the DOC's new activity is decidedly founded on an extensive background.

The camp is open to boys within the age limits of ten to fifteen years. The small enrollment, which is restricted to twentyfive campers, makes it unnecessary to divide this group formally into "Cubs," "Juniors," "Seniors," and so on. Age divisions are nonetheless existent, with Ross planning the activities, trips, and assignment of boys on the basis of age and experience.

Camp Jobildunc provides a brief camping experience of four weeks' total duration, with an option of visiting for only half of this time. This gives the boys a short and stimulating visit, in many cases, while the parents themselves are enjoying their vacation elsewhere.

Camp Jobildunc is a woodcraft camp. That means it acquaints the boys with actual out-of-doors camping experiences. Hiking, mountain climbing, camping out, camp cooking, shelter buildings, axemanship, canoeing, swimming, fly and bait casting, riflery, archery, orientation in the out-of-doors, are all practical camp experiences. We do not attempt, on the other hand, to engage in any competitive athletics, to offer baseball or tennis, form our own band or dramatic society. Trips away from Camp, and camping under the stars or at the Moosilauke Summit Camp, and the various DOC cabins near our mountain, at Lake Armington with its grand canoeing and swimming, at Great Bear, Glencliif, Agassiz Basin and Franconia cabins are always popular, and small groups, either with Ross or experienced counselors to supervise them, are constantly going and coming.

The 1941 season of the Camp will extend from July 18th to August 15th. The DOC will be glad to send an illustrated booklet or answer any questions which alumni may have. HANS PASCHEN '2BT.
