in camps when there is adequate equipment for Basket-ball and Tennis, but more especially where there is a lack of it. Individual games, such as Archery, and Quoits make the time pass pleasantly and profitably for a few who like to go off by themselves. Dancing Dancing is an interesting pastime for camp and fills in many gaps. It is a help in entertainments and if you are to have an end of the season pageant, it is well to hold dancing classes regularly so that there will not be endless rehearsing for the last days. There are three types of dancing which can be presented. The Aesthetic or Classic, the Folk Dancing and the Social Dancing. For the most part, the Folk Dancing is freer, easy to learn and more suited to the community as a whole than the Aesthetic work. It is better not to attempt much dancing in your schedule if you have no piano or stringed pieces, for although there are phonograph records to be had, the supply is too limited to be entirely satisfactory. A collection of English Country Dances by Cecil Sharpe are dances that everyone can do and enjoy. Horseback Riding The joy of horseback riding does not find its way into every camp, mainly because of the expense and responsibility entailed, but if it does there are many facts to know and master in horsemanship. For instance, one should know how to take care of a horse, which means feeding, watering, saddling, grooming, shoeing, tying and general care necessary under different conditions. The requirements for riding are to know: 1. How to mount and dismount correctly 2. To be able to demonstrate riding at a walk, trot or gallop 3. To be able to jump a low hurdle The requirements for driving are: 1. To learn how to harness correctly in a single and double harness; and 2. How to manage a horse on the road 2. CRAFTS AND OCCUPATIONS But sports are not the only side to the camper's program. Another very large and absorbing part is the Crafts, inclusive of Handcrafts, Woodcraft, Campcraft, and the distinct Scout occupations, such as First Aid, Home Nursing, Gardening, Signalling, and Homemaking, treated in the Girl Scout Handbook. Handcrafts The handcrafts are more numerous than your fingers and can be defined as anything that is done with the hands. It is possible to have almost any branch of the Fine Arts and the Applied Arts as dyeing, b
