Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1925-08-01


Virginia, gave us fresh supply of
ideas, enthusiasm, songs, and real
All spirit that we had glimpsed be-
fore. This camp was held in +. r.
Hudson's house at kennard's near
Girdetree.
Here we were brought closer to
nature, the Bay, and soon learned TO
know that the mosquitoes knew how
TO bite.
One of the outstanding features of
this camp was the introduction of the
folk dancing in pageant work. On
visitors day we were pleased to have
the club boys of the county with us
and their leaders, Mr.. Jenkins, dad
jerks" as all the folk knew him, and
our own Mr. Oswald. Our Visitors
Day program was the best ever with
dainty, graceful pageant in the af-
ternoon and very inspirational YES
per and camp fire were given in the
Cevning, at which Mr.. Jcnk MS lighted
the four fires of servicc-rcpresenting
the AIS, Head, Hand, Heart and
Health. 1t was also a pleasure to
have Delaware club girl, Mary Jones
With us at this camp and we all learn
ed to know and love her as we do all
club folk
Our second camp at kennard's which
was held last year was SINH ar to our
first one, yet growing larger and we
were still gathering bits of inspiration
for our club fire, making it bigger,
and brighter each year, burning in the
hearts of each girl, with meaning all
its own.
We were still glad the Wicomico
folk liked us well enough to come
back, and so we found them on hand
and ready to ride in the All wagon to
camp second year.
1t was interesting to see the manner
in which the older girls were able to
assist in the direction of the camp, not
only with food planning, but with rec
rcation and the entire vespcr pro-
grams were in charge Of the girls.
Our vespers showed the greatest
strides toward improvement of any
part of our camp, they were more in
spring and impressive than ever be-
fore.
And so we come to the anniversary
Of the fifth camp for Worcester, and
the third Worcester-W icomico camp.
Not until this year were we inspired
to give our camp a name. What is it's
name did you say? Oh! one big yell.
"Em-ma-wa." How! How!
"Why did you name it that some
one asked. 1t sounds pretty but means
nothing to me-" ooh! it means the
whole All camp to us because it is
named for our three adult club lead
CTS who have been with us for the last
three years: Miss Emerson, State
Girls Club leader; Miss Mason, Home
Demonstration Agent, Wicomico coun-
ty, and our own Miss Walter. Yes,
stree, we surely do like camp and all
the campers are such good sports.
We've enjoyed the change of our
camp from Remarks to Public Land
ing and with the change has come
many new thoughts, new ideas and
new campers, until now we have even
fifty, including six grown-ups.
Larger numbers have enabled us to
have a greater variety of work and I
don't think anyone this year can COM
plain that duties and lessons have
been irksome, or that time has hung
heavy on their hands.
Greater All club spirit has been
shown at this fifth camp than ever
before, and as it goes down in history,
we hope to leave a record clean and
fair. We trust that each camper will
go back to her club with real mes
sage of lesson learned here, and that
when 1926 rolls around, we will live
up to our motto and make the best
camp better.
