The charge will be $5 for the two weeks, if possible the parents
pay this amount. If not, then the sponsoring organization is
to make arrangements to raise the money. By the sponsoring
organization is meant the organization that recommends the child
for the summer camp and assists the camp project in every way
possible. Every child coming to the camp must be O. K.’d by some
such organization, so that we are sure that the children at the
camp are worth while elements to work with. 50 children will
be accommodated during each shift. The transportation will be
provided by the sponsoring organization. Parents, if they like,
will be able to visit the camp during week ends.
The camp will provide swimming, boxing, boating, dancing, music,
dramatics, educational and organizational training along working
class lines. A lot of fun and real training for every worker’s
child. The location is great, right on the shore of Pine Lake,
pine trees on the grounds, good beach, swings and teeter-totters
for the children. The children will be taken good care of, there
will be a nurse at the camp the full time, good meals will be
served and the children will be watched all the time they are
swimming, so parents need have no fear that their children will
not be properly cared for.
For further information, phone Main 9850, Seattle, or write to
Lila Walker, Secretary Pioneer Camp Committee, 1421½ Eighth
Avenue, Seattle.
