SUMMER CAMPS
PROVISION FOR 300 CHILDREN A VALUABLE. WORK Over 300 children'are at present accommodated in summer health camps in Otago and Southland. The a. Omaul, Southland, will be open for two months, catering for over 100 Southland children, in two groups. In the convention buildings at Pounawea there are 50 South Otago children, and at Kurow. *3O North Otago children, for a period of three weeks. The Dunedin children are in two camps., one at Company Bay, where 40 girls are being looked after by fhe Central Mission organisation, and the other at Waikouaiti, where there are 60 boy* and.girls. , . , The fine work done is evidenced by the happy atmosphere of each camp, and the obvious benefit the children are receiving from fresh air, good food, rest, and exercise. It appears that, although convalescent cases need a period of three months in a permanent camp, such as the King George V Memorial camp at Roxburgh, a necessary work is being done at the summer camps. They are conducted free of charge to the, children, being supported by the generosity of the public and voluntary helpers.
