Vacation Camp for Boys

Preparations for the State 'EY''
Boys Camp are crystallizing rapidly.
Within the next few days, Chester A.
Kerr, State Boys Work Secretary and
Camp Director, together with large
group of older boys, will go to Rock
island to begin the actual work of
getting the camp grounds ready for
the first group of campers.
The camp site is located two and
half miles above the Tennessee Pow
er Company's dam, on the Collins
river. One hundred and sixty three
acres of land, about one-half of which
IS timber, will give ample room for
a greatly varied program of camp
actlvltles. The advance party will
cIeaf ground for seventeen tents, a
mess nall and kitchen and other nee
essary buildings. These living quar-
tiers will be located on a beautiful
cliff overlooking a bend in the river
With the work of erecting tents
mess hall and kitchen taken care of.
the party will proceed to lay out the
new quarter mile track and baseball
diamond which are the main features
OF the athletic field In addition.
tennis courts, four volley ball courts
and four basketball courts will be
LAID out. A dock and boat house, to-
gether with diving tower and chute
the chutes will be the next necessary
buildings to be put up, in order to
provide place for the fleet of boats
and canoes, and for the swimming.
While June first is the opening date
upon which boys may come to camp.
1t is believed that the majority of
campers will not arrive until June
Ia, at which time party of about
forty from Nashville and vicinity will
get there. Campers will be received
the summer, as provided
n the camp program, copies of which
nay be obtained by addressing the
lamp Director at the office of the
state Y. M. c. A. at Nashville.
