Camp Kresge on Beaver Lake will
open its third season on June 26
for a full season of camping. The
camp is built around Indian-Lore
and it's new arrowhead is its iden-
tifying trade-mark. The first,
three 2 week periods, will run from
June 26 to July 9; the second from
July 10 to 23, and the third from
July 24 to August 6. Applications
are now being accepted at the Boys’
Division of Central YMCA or at Back
Mountain YMCA.
Camp Kresge is located near
White Haven, in Dennison Township
on a 1,200 acre tract named in
honor of Sebastian S. Kresge who
contributed the funds to make pos-
sible this service to the youth of
Wyoming Valley. It is one of the
finest camps in Pennsylvania. In the
beautiful wooded tract are two
lakes, covering some twenty acres,
known over the years as Mount
Olympus, Glenn Lake and Beaver
Lake. A quarter of a mile up the
side of Mount Yeager is the second
lake, about 5 acres in size. Both
lakes house a family of beavers. This
second lake is known as Little Beav-
er Lake. The elevation at Beaver
Lake is about 1,200 feet and the
elevation atop Mt. Yeager is 1,800
feet. :

faced Mountain Top-White Haven
highway, about 4 miles from White
Haven. From the highway to the
lake is a distance of over two miles.
The first building to greet visitors
is the Headquarters Building and
Infirmary. On the lake front are a
spacious dining hall with modern
kitchen, and a lodge for general
recreation purposes. These three
main buildings are built of vertical
logs, varnished in natural color.
Above, on the mountain side, are
the cabins, divided into three units.
These cabins are solidly constructed
and are carefully screened. Seven
boys and an older counselor are
housed in each cabin.
The camp is built on the age unit
basis. Each unit is named after an
Indian Village. The Algonquin Vil-
lage consists of seven cabins: Ot-
tawa, Sioux, Delaware, Shawnee,
Susquehanna, Menoninee and Win-
nebago, and is for younger boys 8
to 10 years of age. They have a
unit program graded to their par-
ticular age level. The Iroquois Vil-
lage consists of five cabins: Penob-
scot, Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Tus-
carora, and is for intermediate boys,
11 to 13 years of age. Program is
graded to their level of progress
and includes such things as boating,
canoeing, hiking, overnight camp-
ing and fishing.
The Sioux Village of two cabins,
Mohican and Dakota, is for older
boys, 14 years ‘and, up.: This unit
also has its own ‘“‘cook house.” Their
program is designed especially to
meet their special needs, and in-
cludes experiences such as outdoor
cookery, hiking, sailing, outpost
camping, fishing and counselor
training. The unit may combine on
some programs, or ‘go it alone” on
projects for itself. Meals are served
to all units in the main dining hall.
Supervising the program plan-
ning is the Boys’ Work and Camp-
ing Committee under the chairman-
ship of Robert Burnside. Committee
members are Lewis LeGrand, Mrs.
Anna May Davis, Charles Donin,
Carl Goeringer, Dr. Walter Kistler,
Robert Mebane, Mrs. Harold Gruver,
Reed Travis, James Evans and Mrs.
Gordon Leidhecker.
Responsible for care of. facilities
and equipment is the Camp Kresge
Committee under the chairmanship
of Robert Jones. Included are IC. E.
Beerweiler, William F. Logan, Wil-
liam J. Ruff, W. Gordon Williams,
Charles Hontz and Charles H. Miner.
The camp will be under the actual
directorship of Andrew M. Hume,
Boys’ Program Secretary at Central
YMCA. He will be assisted by an
experienced staff.
