Club Girls Camp. Chapel Point. June
26th--29th.

Brother Carley, in charge Of Chapel
Point, has kindly consented to let the
Charles County Club girls hold their
annual camp at Chapel Point from
June 10Th to 10Th.
Many club girls wish TO attend camp,
but only those making 100 points on
the years work may attend. NUMBERS
of last years campers will return
again this year.
During the Measles epidemic the
mother Of one of the club girls was sur
prised to learn that her small daughter
could give bed bath. Upon inquiry
the mother found that Miss Martin,
from the Maryland State Health De
partment, had instructed the girls at
camp last year in practical demonstra-
lions on bed baths and fever sponges.
We hope to have Miss Martin or
some one from the health department
with us this year and hope more inevl-
liable sick may be eased through the
demonstrations to the girls by our
Public Health Nurses.
The object OF the camp is the four
fold purpose OF health, education,
pleasure and stimulus 10 the contin-
dance OF good work in the clubs
throughout the ensuing year.
Annual encanpments are regular
feature of the girls home demonstra
tion work and 10 many Maryland coun-
ties have been most successful during
the past summers.
The opening of this camp at Chapel
Point will witness the second attempt
to engage in this club activity. Il is
hoped therefore, that every citizen OF
Charles county and especially those
interested in club work will make an
effort to make the Charles County An
nual Girls Camp a complete success.
