The Y. NJ. c. A. Boys Camp which
will start Monday, June 4, for boys
between the ages of ten and thirteen
years of age, will be conducted so
as to enable the youths to fully ap-
preciate outdoor life. To assure
the parents Of the boys that they
will be cared for properly the "Y''
officials have made the following
statement:
To the parents:
Your Boy: What about that boy
of yours who Is now growing up!
You want him to enjoy the benefits
and pleasures that you once had as
boy in this country. Or, If you
missed those pleasures, do you want
what 1t Is TO live In the open, to fol-
low a trail, to have his I'LL of
swimming, and baseball and all the
things that q boy loves? II he does
not he ought to learn. Has he ever
been taught to build a camp fire. to
finG his way in the woods, to cook
his own supper,to rely on his own
judgment and ingenuity? Has he
ever lived and played and worked
with boys Of his own age and sort
and had an opportunity to show the
manhood that is in him in healthy
competition? II not he should have
his chance to try all these things.
"A Real Vacation: If you want
him to nave a real vacation then
send him to a camp for boys where
he will have a summer that he won I
forge full Of pleasure and profit and
development. Send him to Stony
Point which is an ideal camping
place and where the rates are within
the reach Of all.
The Fundamentals of Camp
Stony Point isrto direct energy, de-
yelop latent ability, cultivate and
make Christian character. It is not
"a place where boys meet merely to
play, however important that may
be, but a place and an opportunity
for eompanionship and fellowship,
where good habits are lived and ex-
pressed and young lives nodded,
physically, mentally, socially and
spiritually"
