for Camps and Summer Schools of the U.L.C.A., spoke on the value
of leadership training conducted at church camps. He placed Sunrise
Lutheran Camp among the finest. Mrs. Olafsson reported: last year
all the buildings painted, trees planted and an outdoor chapel erected.
General welfare, such as health of campers, safety in swimming and
other sports as good. She paid tribute to the many who helped to
