Parents often come to the Jewish Community Center office to ask about Day Camp. They know that it is an organized activity which is carefully supervised and provides summer fun for children. There are, however, other questions which parents want to know. Parents may ask: "What kind of leadership Is responsible for supervising the camp experience of my child?" To this we answer that staff is selected on the bases of abilities, understanding, and liking of children, skill and leadership, and their enjoyment of the out-of-doors. The importance of leadership is never underestimated! "Guidance and helpfulness is the keynote of camp leadership." "What is the content of this supervised program?" The camp program is a diversified program set up to meet the needs and interests of children who attend camp. It includes experience in living in the out-of-doors, nature crafts, arts, singing, sports, dancing, dramatics, and others which are of interest and value to children. "Are there values for ray child beyond the experience and acquisition of skills previously mentioned?" There are benefits which children carry away from camp which result from participation both as individuals and as members of a group. Children come away from camp better able to care for themselves and able to stand on their own two feet. They have achieved a greater degree of independence. There is an increased ability to participate as a member of a group and to co-operate with other children and adults. These, and other social gains, resulting from camping experiences, are often considered to be the most valuable benefits children derive from camp. Parents often ask questions with regard lo a particular kind of child. For example, "I would like to have my child attend camp, but'lie is so shy he will never participate." Yes, it is true that some children may not be ready to attend camp, but others should attend The shy child can derive a great deal from his camp experience. The importance of the camp staff in this matter cannot be underestimated, since it is through their assistance that children are encouraged to participate and gain further confidence in their own abilities. Many children end the Day Camp season with a new awareness and appreciation of their own skills and potentials. -What value is a Day Camp experience for my child?" One could readily list the following: Growth in taking care of oneself, better participation with groups, new outdoor experience, a new awareness of nature, new physical skills, and a spiritual gain which includes a new awareness of democracy and one's Jewish heritage. To the camper, camp has meant FUN, new skills, treasured memories, health, friends, and social gains.

Wasliir. President v .,n B. Johnson today welcumed Israel's Prime Minister of Levi Eshkol with an unusually warm tribute to Israel's achievements and expressions of support of Israel's security and Middle East peace objectives.
