South Boston. Roanoke. Salem, Hol-
lins East Radford and Bowling Green.
The camp orened June 18th and has
continued during the summer.
Camp Kent Is located in the charm
Ing foothills OF the Blue Ridge. four
miles up winding trail from Green
lee. Rockbridge county There are
seventy acres OF woods and thirty
acres that have been cleared for base
ball, tennis and other purposes. The
camp grounds adjoin the Blue Ridge
national forest and hikes to Peaks of
Otter, the Apple Orchard. Belfast
Thunder Hin, Natural Bridge and
other beautiful and interesting places
are arranged for campers. Three

Most OF the hiking parties were about
thirty strong under adult leaders
chosen especially for their fitness to
direct boys in the mountains. These
leaders are largely college men who
have spent their vacations In the
mountains for several years.
Swimming was a feature OF camp
that perhaps was most enjoyed this
year. Opossum Creek has been
damned on the camp property and a
fifteen foot pool has been formed
IN al n
ground. The diving stages range from
I'VE to thirtythree feet in height FIX
cellent instruction is provided for the
campers and many boys learned to
swim and dive under their supervision

the camp with the large American flag
that ffoated over the treasury building
at Washington during the period OF
the war. The flag Is old and patched.
but the sight of this emblem of lib
erty, the very flag that fioated over
the heads OF the men who planned the
great drives TO finance the war. gave
the boys a real thrill.
The flag is to be held as an honor
nag and the boys who made the best
record In camp are photographed with
the flag. Honors this season go to
