Scenes from Camp Runoia

"A wholesome, well-balanced program is divised [sic] to promote social development and lasting friendships. Each camper, as an integral part of the program, is enabled to respond with her fullest capabilities. Her experience is inevitably an impressionable and happy one."

"Besides the skills which are taught in all activities, each girl enjoys a restful summer outdoors, living and learning with her new companions. Runoia is dedicated to the individual development ofa proper social attitude and to the pleasures derived from community cooperations."

"We have almost a mile of natural lake shoreline with a sandy beach and protected cove which is the center of all waterfront activity including sailing, canoeing, swimming and water games with skilled instruction in each."

"Free time following the noon and evening meal . . . allows the camper to learn to use leisure time constructively. Tennis courts, the lodge and on occasion the waterfront is [sic] available to all

"Sailing in one of our seven sprites is always exciting and on rough days will challenge the most capable skipper."

"Trips including canoe trips on our lake, the other Belgrade Lakes, river and white water trips, mountain, ocean and wilderness trips. The campers are invited to go on these trips depending on their age and experience."

"Riding is offered to all campers. Many girls ride two to three hours a week, learning basic fundamentals, going on trail and supper rides, and for the more advanced rider, an opportunity is provided to learn basic jumping."

"The development of a youngster is the effort not only of her own interest but the careful guidance by those closest to her — the counselors in her cabin and her peers."

"Campers live together in cabins or tents by age group, where ample space makes possible a positive response to the need for assuming responsibility."
