WELCOME CAMPERS We are pleased and proud to present the 1983 version of the Camp Masco Handbook. This year it is chock full of practical information that every camper should know. Since it is our desire to have everyone well versed on our activities, philosophies, and goals, here at Camp Masco, we have made sure every possible question has been answered. Remember, this is your camp! Please feel free to use this handbook to keep up to date on the many facets that make Camp Masco what it is. Most sincerely, Stephen C. Smith Camp Director everything you always wanted to know about camp masco but were afraid to ask DEMERITS The demerit system at Camp Masco is as follows: 5 demerits — failure to report poison ivy outbreak 5 demerits — cheating on survival skills 10 demerits — canoeing in out of bounds areas 15 demerits — leaving campus with- out permission An accumulation of more than 30 de- merits will result in a camper-director conference and a short sheeting of the aforementioned camper ' s bed. BEHAVIOR AT WIENER ROASTS Campers attending such wiener roasts will be expected to obey the following rules: 1 . Campers will be expected to report to fireside areas promptly at 6:00. 2. If a camper leaves the designated areas early, they will not be allowed to return. 3. Burning mor e than three (3) wein- ers past the edible stage in one sitting will result in loss of privileges for toasted marshmellows and last choice in fireside songs. CAMP MASCO JINGLE We have provided the lyrics to one of our all-time favorite fireside songs (sung to the tune of On Top of Old Smokey”) If you go to Camp Masco, You learn how to camp. You make leather wallets, and the cabins are damp. We always have fun here, the counselors are great. Class is exciting, it’s choice. 14

FIREDRILL PROCEDURE Should a campfire get out of control, the fol- lowing procedure should be observed. 1. The first person to notice the fire should sound a general alarm. 2. DON’T PANIC!! 3. Form a bucket brigade. Remember Campers — In emergency situa- tions ALWAYS USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! GRADES AND THEIR MEANING At the end of each quarter, each camper will receive a report card. We have provided a list of grades and their meaning.

THE MESS HALL Camp Masco ' s cuisine is a rare combination of exotic treats and pure disgust (our apologies to Robyn’s mom). Tater tots, tacos, mystery meat with gravy? And what was that pink fluff pie that seemed to whet all the appetites of these poor captive campers?! For those who dared to return this year there were few changes — pepperoni was added to the pizza. 15
