Camps Opening
Draws Over 200
Its First Day

More than two hundred people
from all over the state Of Michigan
attended the first day Of a three
day opening beginning Friday. Aug,
10, of the George Washington Car
yer Camp.
The George Washington Colony
and Camp occupies 400 acre tract
of land on Wild Goose Lake. The
land faces Highway No. II for about
mile and is located between Ann
Arbor and Jackson, about seven
miles from Jackson and sixty miles
from Detroit.
This colony and camp is me-
mortal to the late George Washing
ton Carver and will be developed as
an experimental farm. 1t is to pro-
vide an outlet for the Astounding
energy Of city youth who lack
means Of recreation and expression
1t is a tangible effort TO combat
Juvenile Delinquency" by provid-
ing wholesome activities for the
young people.
Those who visited the camp on
the first day enjoyed a picnic on
the grounds. Some spent their time
exploring the five buildings and
examining the equipment. Many
took the hike to the lake for fishing
and observation. Others gathered
berries and grapes which thrive in
abundance on several acees. The
tract contains much timber land
and much land suitable for cult
walton. 1t is good hunting ground
and the lake front camp property
is suitable for boating and fishing.
Swimming will be added when
equipment arrives.
The enthusiastic crowd on Satur-
day exceeded that of the opening
day when four associations were
represented. Some camped over
night. An appreciation offering was
made each day. The Carver Camp
Movement is headed by Rev. A. C.
Williams of Detroit.
