Summer Child Activity Finds Solution At Appalachian Camp ' By LARRY PENLEY ' Camp Broadstone, one of the most unique school -camps In 4ie nation, mixss physical and mental exercises for boys and girls in grades five through 4 i g h t during the summer months, Appalachian State Teachers College, a pioneer education in stitution, has come up with what might be considered a novel solution to the age old problem of activity for the children during the summer. Appalachian School Camps, high school and . elementary di vision, now make it possible for boys and girls to enjoy camp activities during the summer session as well as mafce pro gress through an enrichment program in studies. The elementary boys and girls live and play at beautiful Camp Broadstone near Valle Cruris, one of the finest in North Carolina. Formerly a private camp, it was purchased by Appalachian College. Eflc DeGroat, facultjrnMft ber lit Appalachian CollqPbp outstanding camp direetflT'n the southeast, will direct Camp Browlstone. DeGroat and his as sistants, all professionals, ac cent irate recreation, physical development and (kills in such sports as football, track, soccar, archery, swimming, volleyball, canape raft, handicraft and soc ial games. The camp director believes that the greatest educational experience is the opportunity (or boys and girls to live with other children in a cabin at the camp. He declared that the greatest contribution of the school-camp is the "give and take" of a group living and wording together for a "period of six week. The children be come more responsible and con siderate when they must care for themselves and make their own decisions with their peers. DeGroat described the school camp as a world {or children, guided by adults. The adults serve as counselors and admin istrators where adult problems hare very little impect on the children. The academic program in cluding all classroom work will be housed in the new elemen tary school located on the Ap palachian College campus. Stu dents will be transported by bus from the camp to the.cam pus each morning for their classroom work, and will be re turned by bus aacb day at noon for lunch and afternoon and evening' activities.'

"We made quite a lengthy investigation as to what type of trees to plants before we started on the project. We talked with many authorities, inoluding members of the fed eral department af agriculture. "fliey told us cherry laurel, which grows widely in Georgia, would be the hardiest tree of the size we wished.
