A No extras for activities. Arrowhead announces a special program for senior campers, specializing in tripping on horse- back, in canoes and long camping trips. Also extra training and participation in athletics for those who desire it. We call special attention to our long health and accident free record, and welcome careful investi- gation from ArroWhead's beginning in l937. FUN ' ADVENTURE ' RELAXATION ' COMPANIONSHIP HAPPINESS ' GROWTH ' HEALTH ADVENTURE is of prime importance, including all sorts of exciting experiences. RELAXATIQN must be included-sort of taking it easy, exploring a mountain brook with a close friend, reading a good book, or just a bit of plain and fancy day dreaming between times. RECREATION that is both stimulating and challenging-games, stunts, activities and fun. GUTDOORS spells magic to boys of every age. The woods, fields, streams, mountain meadows and trails, camp fires under the stars, a whole world to discover and explore. ANDERLUST is part of every boy's make-up. The love of striking out on new trails, finding a new camping spot, suddenly coming upon a magnificent view from the top of a ridge. HEALTH is all-important. Good food, rest and cleanliness, fresh air and sunshine, balanced and supervised activities make strong bodies capable of getting the most joy out of living, playing and camping. EXCITEMENT is a must for every boy. New thrilling experiences, day after day, adds to the zest of living. AFFECTION is as necessary to a boy as his food or the air he breathes. Any activity is more fun, more satisfying, when shared with an intimate companion, either fellow camper or friendly counselor. DIVERSION, which includes all sorts of experiences that are new and different. There are the old favorites, but boys always go for the unusual in the way of fun and adventure and excitement - ' These nine component parts may be woven into a wonderful pattern for a summer of joy and happiness and satisfaction. The first letter of each, in order as listed above, spells A-R-R-O-W-H-E-A-D. 3 . mwuununr'lu0l' ' ' The Infirmary Buildings and ArroWhead's forty permanent buildings include the dining room and kitchen, gymnasium and recreation building, inhrmary, rustic log cabins for sleeping quarters, showers and Wash rooms with Hush toilets, dark room for photography, boat L 4 The Director's Cottage iving Quarters house on Green River, office, craft shop and stables, also, there is a sleep-out cabin high on Rice Mountain over-looking camp.

Cots with steel springs and felt mattresses are used throughout. Locker space is provided for each camper. A number of the cabins are situated along the shore of the lake. 4 A Health There are a number of physicians and dentists in Hendersonville, and two Ortho- dontists in Asheville to whom campers are frequently taken for adjustment of braces. Hendersonville's new hospital iswithin easy reach. A graduate nurse is on duty at Arrow- head,s infirmary. This building is screened, adequately equipped, and includes nurses, and campers' quarters, big sun porch, first aid room, hot shower and flush toilets. Counselors check on campers, health habits dailyg also skin and general physical examinations, in- cluding weights, are made regularly, and reports sent home weekly. As a further safe- guard, a health certificate' is required of each camper and counselor to prevent importation of communicable disease. Arrowhead main- tains a Grade A rating by the State Board of Health. About Food: A Most Important Subject The preparation of the food is under the direction of a Competent dietitian, in a mod- ern and well equipped gas and electric kitchen. Fresh pasteurized milk is delivered daily. Camp Arrowhead's kitchen contains the most sanitary and modern fac111t1es for reingerahon preparatton and cooking of food, washing and sterihztng of dishes Left: The water. front on Arrow. head's private lake in the cen- ter of camp.

Some campers wish to specialize in advanced equitation. Others, after learning the elements of safety and handling their mounts, want nothing more to com- plete their happiness than the thrill of exploring miles of beautiful woodland and mountain trails with a good horse under them. Each camper is not only allowed, but encouraged to follow his own bent. We are proud of our record through the years, of the great number of boys who have come to Arrowhead as rank beginners, and who, long before they left, mounted their horses with that unmistakable look on their faces which said 'cGee, fellows, this is really it. J, ,... ArroWhead's horses are from one of the leading riding clubs of the south and are espe- cially schooled for camp use. Our instruc- tion in equitation is of the highest caliber and attention is given to fundamental tech- niques. In the ring you are taught riding fundamen- tals. Rlflery Guns and ammunition are kept in the Camp Arsenal. Campers may bring their rifles, but they must be kept in the arsenal under lock except when they are being used at the rifle range under counselor super- Vision. Further safety measures and rules are given to the campers throughout the season, along with the reasons Why. SAFETY Safety is the first lesson at the Rifle Range. Arrowhead is a member of the National Rifle Association. Here is fun, valuable training and the acquisition of a worthwhile skill for every camper-and N.R.A. awards for those who qualify. Campers learn to box under expert instruction. Tennis Tennis on the mountaintop. Sand and clay courts have been whittled off the high ridge, with a deep valley on either side. 10 r 1 ,.,, Q.11pr:1'ffff,Ef-,fLz ' ' A' W ' , .,,, , ,, , ,,,,,:,'f:j:Q.f:gg'g'11f.f.-'H ' X 'liz2:j:fpf:S1E:E2E:f:f:g: 'rI'f'f'1'f'f -'-'- .'f'i'f- IT 'N - '-f'f'f'f'Af -'-'- i... ., .. 1 ' fif1f'f:?'2:fp':1fifEf fi ' ftZZ2ffff1Z?f1fif :lff2f.f:f'fi1.: 113:3:?:Y:i:3:1:3:i I lx ' 5fililfiillglliziiisftli wil5:5I5If:1:757i53f3fff2fff1fTfffiiff-fffififliiffifffifi 1f:3:7:5:5:?l1:?:3ff3I3:4:itl'3:3tf:ig2g:-:-:-: i - f'f5'fi:f555ff5I - I . ,... .32252555if525555ssifiiiiifiifisiiisiiftisfQ?5252535g2f5e2iaf'2255.5.f15fee525sisQ15fi5f2fsfsfff5sffsffffe1fffffsffefessgsef 5.515fg:'f5fff553EliffQffffffi ,. !

Catholic carnperf are taken to Hender- ronoille Siinday rnorning for Maxx, accompanied by a rnernber of the staff. Activity Arrowhead desires that each camper get the most in enjoyment and instruction in his favorite activities. Some organzations schedule the major part of the camper's time and activities, others, little if any. Arrowheadls course is in between, believing that some scheduling of instruction periods and regular follow up is desirable, if balanced with a gener- ous amount of free time for the camper. Note the sample schedule of a typical camper. Each week day morning is divided into three activity instruction periods. You, of course, select your own activities, and then we set up your schedule, fitting you into groups of proper age, size and ability levels. No matter what your size and age, you may be an advanced swimmer, beginning rider, or vice versa. As indicated on the application, a camper chooses six activities, and each comes up every other morning, or three times a week. You too should have six activities for the mornings, unless you wish to double up on one or two Cexcept ridingl. That is all right, with parental approval, just so long as your mornings are planned intelligently and purposefully. There are of course exceptions to any morning schedule. We go on many camping trips, and on such occa- sions your schedule is set aside, to be resumed when you return to camp. This also applies when you are on a canoe trip or are at Lake Summit for sailing, aqua-planing and skiing. You may wish to shift from one activity to another occasionally. All right, if the change is reasonable and not too frequent. You should not, however, request to substitute another sport for, let's say swimming, if your parents have especially requested that you learn to swim. But you do not have to hang on to archery, for instance, all season just Schedule because you sgned up for it, if you find that you would rather take up soft ball or something else. The whole plan is for you to participate and receive regular instruction so that you will derive the keenest enjoyment from your sports by increasing your skill. It is not intended to tie you down to a daily routine. In the afternoons you are free, so far as activities go. If you are a tennis bug and had tennis in the morning, you may play some more in the afternoon. Or you may hike and explore with your gang, or sleep, or catch up on your loafing or pick blackberries for a pie, or write to your parents and girls. We want you to have a good time, to have time for accomplishing definite objectives, time to devote to your pet schemes and hobbies, and time to just plain relax and enjoy life. There are many important events which take place during camp, not appearing on the activity check list and which will not be worked into your morning schedule sheet. These include the camping trips to Pisgah and other outpost spots, the canoe trips to Summit where you sail and ski, the county fair, minstrel, circus, and square dances with Glen Arden, the movies at camp once a week, council fires and all sorts of interesting evening programs, group games, birthday parties, hay rides, and treasure hunts. All these are planned on an informal basis with you and your varying interests in mind, and each of you is urged to join in the fun. We encourage campers to want to get somewhere, and in so doing have the most fun along the way. Look over the activity check list on the application blank. Check the 6 you prefer for a starter remembering that you may change later on as the situation merits. The Council Ring A Tiny island in the center of the lake is lust large enough for the Council Ring. As the spot itself is separate from shore. so the activi- ties around the Council fire are distinct from the physical features of camp life-an inner circle to which we go for closer fellowship with campers. counsel- ors, and nature. THE SLIDE The natural Slide is one spot in camp not hard on clothes - but the boys are hard on hamburgers and steaks at the outdoor Slide grill after a good Work- out. Outdoor supper at The Slide is one of the weekly highlights of Camp. Occasionally QTOUPS come down for a breakfast of flapiacks and sausages. 19
