The meeting held on Monday came

25 Pioneers with their leader, Sam

the location is not the best in the
world, but let me tell you that every

it is not only a vacation" that the

Yes, it is a real Pioneer camp. It

beds rather than fresh air.
The camp also has a first aid sta

no one seems to get sick-and the
children come home from camp
healthy and strong.
This camp was established thru the

Pioneer organization. 1t was only
made possible thru the splendid CO.

camp for hundreds of working-class
children.
