All Sixth Graders In
A Five Week Camp Is
Hope Of Administrators

A report on the second year of
East Cleveland sixth graders
camping at River Road Camp has
just been released by Camp Direc-
tor Thomas Meinhardt and assis-
tant Director Mrs. Berneice Wise
cup,
Using the YMCA River Road
Camp, located on Route ia in
Willoughby Hills" states Mr.. Mein-
hardt, "again proved to be an ideal
camp for our outdoor education
program. With a total Of 302 sixth
graders attending camp this past
fall for an average of IS campers
per week, there was minimum of
confusion and a one-hundred per
cent improvement in our program.
Teachers returning for their second
year were more confident and bet
ter prepared for their weeks pro-
gram, while our new teachers were
add by the new camp handbook,
new and better materials. and the
experienced advice Of other teach
ers.
"Healthwise the camp was very
good for the first three weeks with
the usual number Of cuts, bruises
and sore throats. However, during
the fourth and final week, even the
healthy camp life succumbed to
it's share of the flu which was
everywhere at the time. Sixteen
campers were sent home from
camp for health reasons; fourteen
were sent during the fourth week
with sore throats and fever.
"A note of thanks is in order TO
the wonderful mothers and dads
who again volunteered their help
this fall. With all these combined
efforts, East Cleveland's sixt h
graders were again given an ex-
perience that will remain wi h
them for many years to come"
The administrators recommend
that every sixth grader a t e n d
camp and that the period next year
be extended to five weeks to ac-
comodate all pupils Teachers"
ist is pointed out, "are often faced
with the problem Of having some
children being left out of follow-up
activities because they did not
attend camp" More male super
vision is also recommended.
The children were almost un-
animous in reporting that they
enjoyed camp, that they liked the
food, and that they made new
friends among the pupils from
other schools. They liked the ac-
tivites planned for them, both dur
ing the day and in the evening pro-
gram, and didn't get very home
sick. Their teachers shared their
students feeling that it would be
nice if their entire class member
ship could have attended, but felt
that the experience was mos
worthwhile for those who were
there.
Parents comments were vir-
tually unanimous in approving of
the camping experience and the
benefit that it gave their children.
They observed that their sons and
daughters had gained m ch
greater appreciation of nature, and
had profited in other ways from
their week in the out-of-doors. The
chief difference from home seems
to have been the lack of running
