GIRLS CAMP TO OPEN AUGUST 3 Boys Abandon Wilton Vacation Grounds Used For First Time This Year

Bismarck girls are enthusiastic over a week's outing at the new camp at Wildwood Lake, near Wilton, which has been promised them by those in charge of girls' work here.

The boys' last camping period will end August 3, and the girls will take possession of the camp immediately.

The camp, the first of its kind in this part of the state, was opened this year for the first time. It is equipped with tent accommodations for 32 people, a large mess hall, and excellent recreational facilities. The lake provides a sandy bathing beach where the water deepens gradually for almost 100 feet.

A program of swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, campfires, and handicraft has been arranged for the girls and they are to be under supervision at all times. Mrs. Jennie Ulsrud and Miss Clarice Belk are to be in charge of camp activities. The "buddy" system is to be employed at all swimming periods as the best safety device for the girls.

Mrs. McVey, who has been cooking for the boys, is to stay on in the same capacity through the girls' week. The boys have pronounced the "grub" as "bully" and the girls will undoubtedly find the mess hall a most popular place.

Girls wishing to take advantage of the camping period may make application to the Association of Commerce. A charge of eight dollars will be made for the entire week, and the first thirty-two girls applying will be allowed the privilege of going to camp. Each girl must first furnish a doctor's certificate stating that she is physically fit to take part in active camp life.
