August 15, 1978

We set out at 8.30 for camp. At camp we climbed a tree until the bus arrived with most of the campers. It was rather late. Then we went to Tipi Camp to play some games. When our camps were announced (I am in Camp 6, the closest to Tipi, Carpark, Cabin etc.) we went there. Then we made name tags from wood, pasta letters and beans. Then we went on an exploration hike and had lunch at Tipi camp. After lunch we learned some knots for honour beads. Then we had a fire drill, made Indian symbols in the cliff by the dried up creek, and were driven home. Thus ends our first day of camp.

I think this was a camp run by the city – which would be called a summer playscheme in the UK – here a ‘camp’ would be something you stayed over at.
