This is probably as tsrong a staff
as has ever been in charge and
everything point to an unusually
fine camp season. Since the Yer
mont Y. w. G. A. purchased the
Lodge and full equipment last fall
and secured u long term lease OF
the land, many Improvements are
being anticipated. A new tennis
court will be built at the beginning
of the season and several minor
improvements made at once. The
camp is in a beautiful spot on the
east side of Grand Isle; it has ac-
commodations in its twenty-five
tents for about sixty girls at atimo
Last summer practically one hun
dred and fifty girls spent from two
weeks to two months at Hochelaga
and much fine camp spirit and 10y
atty has grown about the camp
even in its two seasons.
Such a large number of girls is
aleady booked for 1922 that those
in charge fully expect the demand
to exceed the capacity before
camp opens on June 10Th. The
junior group of girls twelve and
thirteen wear old is limited in num-
bers, and is practically filled fol
July now, with number of Aug
ust registrations besides. There are
many more registrations on file
now than would ordinarily be re-
ceived very much later One coun-
cilor has already been added to
the usual number; for every effort
will be made to give the girls care
! full supervision along with theil
good time, and to maintain the
high standard of previous sum
mers. Camp will close August 31st
and during the last week will take
place thte annual camp banquet
which is always so popular, prob
ably on August goth.
