Iron Springs is not the only camp
MI ;ya
are to open in 20 states in June.
From Sea Beck, Washington, to Blue
Ridge, South Carolina, q line of vaca-
tion camps and conferences will open
and men and women of national
prominence will stimulate and re-
fresh thousands of young women
from every walk of life. Last year
10,S06 girls from colleges. factories,
schools, business offices and rural
communities attended. So great is
the demand this year that already
heavy registrations indicate that ac-
commodations may be overtaxed. The
forums cover religious, social and in
ternational outlooks and Christian
standards for personal and social liv-
ing. Afternoons are given over to
sports, hikes, excursions, games,
songs and comradeship. Particulars
as to dates and locations may be
had from the local officers of the
association or from the conference
department, National Board 500 Lex
ington avenue, New York City.
"Pay-as-you- enter" vacations are
no longer the only variety available
1t is now perfectly possible to spend
a jolly out-of-door vacation and yet
earn as you go. A vacation exper-
fence to reopen in July found it's OPP
portunity in the shortage of cherry
pickers in the Wisconsin orchards.
Quick to realize that cherry picking
could make possible vacation for
girls who lack adequate savings to
go to the country, the Y.W.C.A.
runs a cherry picking camp at
Sturfeon Bay, Wisconsin. Here with
work and fun well mixed nearly 200
girls are to be found earning ex-
penses in nearby orchards. Picnics,
swimming and other favorite vaca-
tion sports as well as work are
supervised by college trained young
women with a nurse and cook on the
Y Wv. c.. "A. staff. Shower baths and
club rooms are included in the roomy
barracks. Any young girl wishing
to join the camp this summer is
asked to write to Miss Francelia
Stuenkel central field committee of
the WV. CA. II North State street,
Chicago. An illustrated booklet giy-
ing full particulars is sent upon re-
quest.
