The settlement house has an arrangement with the University for a Summer Camp for the settlement house kids. Bones gets permission from Mom, and off he goes to camp. It’s out in the woods, and it’s scary at night. It’s a lot of fun, most of the time. When Bones gets back to the hood he has a lot of stories to tell. Bobby |

Wonderful that Bones had these stories to tell, but, yes, I can understand that there were some painful ones he didn't . . . Hugs and smiles for Bones - Owl |

Bobby when I was young... I was sent to Health Camp.. which kinda is like a Summer Camp for sickly kids I guess.. for the whole 6 weeks I fretted for my parents... but by the end of the 6 weeks they sent me back looking healthy so I guess it worked... I liked your story about Bones' summer camp .. thank you love RDB Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

Thanks dear Ida, Yes, Bones had fun at camp. When he got home, he offered his final judgement of the woods. "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there." Love Bobby |

Bones deserved to have some joy in his life and to get out in nature. I enjoyed my summer camp experiences as well ~ Brownie, Girl Guide, Youth and Spiritual camps. Well, I'm not saying they were totally idyllic, but like Bones, I had some interesting stories to tell. Linda |
