The camp, which opens on June 15, will operate through August 24 this year. Celo Camp is individualistic in that it specializes in giving children a true-to-life experi ence of country life at its best. The Moodys say, “Our aim is to give children an earthy en joyment of farm and moun tain, river and forest. Worship work and play are a natural continuation of our home stead life the year round.” The camp is limited to, 16 children, six through ten years of age. Through the full program of farm and camp activities the children learn many new skills and learn the joy of working together as a cooperative group. Chores are shared by all in a half-hour period each morn ing. Milking the cow and goat, feeding the chickens, calf, horse_ and pony, helping in the garden and the house all give a concept of the dignity and joy of work. Morning projects built on the interests and enthusiasms of the children have included building a tree house, dtggmg a cave, playing marooned on an island, actually tracking a “lost horse,” hiking on nearby forest trails. A constant aim of the camp staff is to keep the program flexible to meet the needs and interests of the individual child. Afternoon swimming is in three graded groups. Fun damentals of riding the horse and pony are taught by a staff member. The craft program makes use of native material which the children help to gather—reeds for weaving, vines for baskets, clay for pot tery. Sketching groups stress ease and spontaneity of ex pression. In dramatics, self consciousness is forgotten as the group works together for the twice-weekly skit nights. Shop offers simple carpentry and the joy of making things. Game ' period brings the group together for an hour of active play with free time dur ing the day, and evening pro grams divided between camp fires, skit nights, and folk dancing. Songs go with the campers Rev. Riddle Is Called To Church In Washington Rev. Ray Riddle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Riddle of Rt. 1 Burnsville, is visiting his par ents before leaving for Brem erton, Washington next Mon day where he will be pastor of Bay Baptist Church.

And weekly picnics and camping help round out the campers’ activities. » The Moodys have had many years of professional experi ence in working with children. They have chosen for camp staff mature adults with pro fessional experience in group work and education. Camp Celo has attracted wide interest, and, although, the majority of campers come from North and South Caro ling many come from as far away* as Wisconsin, Florida, Illinois New York.
