be facilitated by this new camp. Enthusiasm for the new Federation sponsored resident camp among parents and children has been quite apparent, Brodkey commented, as registrations, even though the regular camp announcements haven't b e e n mailed out, literally have been pouring into the Camp Office at the Center. Many parents have registered their children for more than one session, he revealed at a Camp Committee meeting this past Sunday, and added "we expect to have a capacity registration quite early." "We don't want to disappoint anyone," Mr. Brodkey stated. "That, is why we urge parents to register early. Children have been turned down in past years for lack of room and it can happen again. We will register only the capacity of the camp." Children may be registered for any of the three two week periods at the camp, or for-any multiple of periods, by application through the Camp Office. Applications willbe mailed out upon request, before the off-cial camp announcements are sent out, by a call to camp personnel at 342-13GG. Camp periods run from June 30 to July 14, July 14 ta July • 20 and July 28 to August 11.
