Junior Camp News
The Lower Camp opened on a hot, breezy day yesterday, June 28th, with 16
eager and active campers. Early arrivals began on Friday with veteran
campers Todd Pardun, Timmy Joyce and Jeff Marcus. Mark Tabor and David
Hunt were first to arrive on Saturday Morning, and signaled the
beginning of a long train of campers coming in from all parts of the
country and abroad. By dinner time most campers had arrived and were
busy getting settled and to know each other during games or in the unit.
This years youngest boys, (formerly called Juniors) are living in what
used to be the Intermediate Camp area. The units for the entire boys
camp are blended from the youngest to the oldest, with the youngest
starting in the Lower Camp. With this new arrangement, campers will be
able to have activities with various age groups, as their skills and
development warrant.

From the Director
Dear Friends:
After all these months of planning, preparing and anticipating, the 1969
camping season is here, and we want to welcome you all to Camps
Susquehanna and Equinita. This first issue of the camp newspaper, the
"Lookout" is an integrated issue, containing news items of Camp
Susquehanna and Camp Equinita, due to the time factor. Camp Equinita
will have its own newspaper in the future.
You counselors have been working out plans for the program for this
summer and our calendar is beginning to show a fun-filled adventuresome
eight weeks of camping. There are canoe trips, canoe races, horseshows
and horseback trips, parades, hikes, contests, games, stage shows, and
just not enough time to list all of them, or to get a more descriptive
outline of them at this time. It will really be a full summer.
If you should have any ideas or suggestions for new activities, be sure
to write them out and put them in the suggestion box located at the
canteen. We are always glad to talk over the program with you, and to
improve it by your suggestions if at all possible.
In the meantime, have a great time and thoroughly enjoy the summer at Equinita and Susquehanna.
We are really looking forward to spending the next several weeks with you.
The Schroders
Camp Equinita

of Camp Susquehanna. The Staff has been busy all week, transforming it
into a girl's camp. Equinita opens with sixteen charter campers and
seven counselors. Everyone is enthusiastic about the establishment of
Camp Equinita.
For opening day we have gone swimming and taken many hikes around camp.
The Nature Den area is fast becoming stocked with snakes, frogs, and
newts. On Sunday, a hike to a nearby waterfall is planned with a picnic
supper. Our first overnight sleep out will be on Wednesday.
