The second grou of delegates: Scott Green, Mary Jea Robinson, Carla Cotton, and Patty De- Julia got to go the week of June 9-l 5. Al delegates were very pleased with the camp. The camp was based mainly on hu man relations. It made you appreciate' people for who they are inside, not jus their physical qualities. Many friend were made during the week and thes friends will always be close friends of th delegates. Each day had many activities to kee everyone busy. There was a cultur night where they divided into their eth nic groups and performed skits whiclr delt with the prejudices that each ethni group feels. It was a very emotion night for everyone.
