Nj W-Q 'XX FREE SWIM FOR THE BEGI-NNERS SWIMMING AND BOATING FUN highlighted the i67 waterfront season. Every camper enjoyed the games, instructions, distance swims, Red Cross testing, boating, surfing, the war canoes, and just plain 'dunkini Characterized by laughter and enjoyment, the waterfront became a way of life for all. The ultimate goal of the waterfront staff was to have every camper learn to swim or to improve the stroke mechanics of those who could swim. The objective, therefore, for the beginner swim- mers was to provide the greatest pleasure for the learner and to assure his maximum improvement. Kick boards, bobbing, golf-ball dives, get 'Ronj 'point those 'toes,' 'reach, breathe and blow' relay races, etc., all proved to be excellent weapons for instruction. Ken-Mont's summer found all boys ad- vanced in skill and confidence. The Bluejays, Ken-Mont's youngest campers, had a fantastic year at the waterfront. Five boys pro- gressed to the Intermediate swimming area, a most impressive achievement for this group. The 'Fan- tastic Five' were: PETER NEWMAN, ERIC METZENDORF, PAUL FELDAN, MIKE PRELL, and I ON DOPPELT. The most improved swimmers however were FRANK LAUREDA, WAYNE RUBIN, IRA SHERMAN and DAVE COHEN. These boys made tremendous strides in overcoming the 'fear and coniidence' barrier. MANNY PEARLMAN and JARED GOLD- WATER, progressed with speed to discover that skill accompanied enjoyment. Distance Swims The Ken-Mont summer produced an amazing number of boys who 'went the distance? 153 boys participated in the following distances: The Sail Dock CM mi.j, The Sail Dock and Back CM. mi.D. The Island swims were undertaken with maximum supervision and preparation. Each two swimmers were assigned to a rowboat with a qualified swim counselor. Each distance swim was given any time on the request of any camper. KEN FELLER broke , ,, ,,-. -V-V,a.i,, --a---..-.--.-..-.., i--..... ,.-E-.-E... -.-ii , Y . L E. ,-M. ,wugl V g .4 11- A -L V-'..

This group pf0- vided many fine and exciting games of soccer of a standard equal to that of their equivalents in socceris Mother Country, England. In fact, several indi- viduals, BOB REIGER, JOHN ROSS, RICHIE ROSENBERG, STEVE SCHIFFMAN, SCOTT COOPER, GARY ROTTMAN, MIKE MOORIN and BOBBY ENT IN and several others, would easily win a place on an English school eleven of their age group. In ANDREW HOLDER and BOB REIGER these two groups provided the finest two soccer players for their age in the camp. In the Upper Camp, the Hawks have learned many A good tactical lessons which has improved team performances. The stars of intercamp and inter-gro-up games were GARY SINGER, JOHN TUMEN, KEN LEIBOWITZ, ROGER KAHN, KEN FELLER and ANDY MAYER. The Condors did not patronize the soccer field as much as most other groups during the summer. However, they have emerging players of no little ability in DAVE HUTNER, a Hne goalie, MARC CORON, a dependable Hfull-back, OSCAR REICHER, a stopper centre half, and TEDDY MAYER., a tricky and effective forward, especially alongside LEE TUNIS. In the Eagle - Dodo Division there has been great keenness and interest this year resulting in some fine games. The dramatic comeback victory over Camp Berkshire was a great achievement in which BOB STEINWURTZEL, BILLY COHEN and RICK KANE were outstanding. Ken-Mont is going to be formidable opposition for any Seeeer team at these levels for quite a few years to C0me. All in all, this has been a year of great progress and improvement which has consolidated the status of soccer in the camp and the ability of campers in this sport. Ken-Mont is in that happy position of being able to look forward to a Hne future of soccer playing for many years to come. VOLLEYBALL With the addition of two new all-weather courts, volleyball was greeted with new enthusiasm last summer. Featuring excellent drainage, games were played within minutes after the last drop of rain fell. Although a regularly scheduled activity for Lower Camp, some well played, highly Spirited games were played among the senior campers during free periods. ,.-Y-v-.....m::v ...-tmrzr-v-gvr-rn.-r'-xv. , ..gnuannrwzy-gwxrynnxrvvr-.vnu-,537-...,-Tr., ,,,,, - -V - '1n.. ..1.'--.....,.:-vxzyqgg-Hanna? -mn N

A remarkable ac- complishment. Our waterfront in 1967 was more fun than ever before, and also showed the most positive results. Competitive Swimming The Ken-Mont Swimming team lost a real heart- breaker to Camp Seneca by the score of 875 to 90395. A tremendous amount of individual fortitude and team spirit characterized OUR team. DAVE GREENBAUM swam excellently to take first place in the 50 yard Backstroke, and also gave BOB KATZ and GIL LEVINE the distance advantage to capture the Medley Relay. BOB KATZ also placed second in the 50 yard breast stroke. BOB touched simultaneously with two Seneca swimmers but was awarded the 2nd position. In the 10-12 age bracket, Ken-Mont scored 345 points to Seneca's 202. ROGER KAHN was the outstanding swimmer, winning his individual event, the 25 yard freestyle. ROGER'S speed also aided the Medley Relay team to a lst place along with GARY SINGER and MARK BARNETT chalking up the win. DAVE WINSTON and BERT FICHMAN also led the Held in the Freestyle relay along with KAHN. Ken-Mont took lst and 2nd with GARY SINGER and MIKE FASS blazing the 25 yard breastsftroke course. I ON SHEVELL gained first place in the 10 and under 25 yard breaststroke. Ken-Mont and Seneca were neck and neck right to the end. With only 3 events to go Seneca clinched the victory by winning the 10 and under and 12-15 freestyle relays. We're proud to be a part of the tremendous amoun-t of effort that the swimming team displayed.
