MY FIRST YEAR AT JOE WEBB’ S RIDING CAMP
By Wesley Spencer( As Dictated to His Mother)
I think this is a very good camp for boys and girls to go to. It is very religious and educational for boys and girls. It was a very important takeplace in my life and I hope it is one in yours.
I think one of the fun-est days at camp are rainy days. On these days you can play cards in the cabin, be down at the bam or at the chowhouse playing games. On hot days a man will come to your cabin and will give you a choice of what you want to do at certain times. Between these two times you go swimming in a lake that is very cool on a hot day. If you want to you can go fishing in the lake.
When you drive to the camp on the“ old road” there will be a sign greeting you as you drive up. You go to an office and register, then a counselor will show you to a cabin where you’ ll be staying and let you pick your bunk.
The boys’ counselors this year were Joe Sloan and Dennis Martin. There were twelve boys and fifty-somethinggirls. We had campers from around 21 states, including Alaska, New York, New Jersey and Virginia.

Every other day you can go trail riding if you want. The last day the trail ride is the longest and best. They teach you how to ride. Every day you ride Walking Horses. You are split up into three groups. This year, Group 2 rode first, Group 1 rode second and Group 3 rode third. At the end of the session they have a horse show with every one of the campers in it. Everyone gets a picture of Joe Webb, ROD GERS PERFECTION, and CAR BON COPY with a goodbye note on the back. The judges this year were two of Joe’ s helpers. They have first place which is $ 5.00 and Most Improved Rider which is $ 2.00. They divide classes by the ages. CRACKER- JACK is my favorite horse, but he is not the best horse in the bam, but he is the gentlest.
There is a craft house which is the Old House dedicated to Joe’ s Grandfather s Grandfather for the camp. I hey built a Memorial Pond this past E ', 1!,*“> memory of Miles Mitchell Webb, known as Mike. Toe Webbs Grandfather’ s Grandfather’ s 5 "*, name w * s Miles. Joe’ s Grandfather-s first name was Miles, Toe’ s brother s first name is Miles ' and
ike S first name was Miles. That’ s symcamp is named CamP ^iles
Near the end of the session, all the cabins, boys and girls have a talent show. This year, Joe Webb dressed up as Little Red Rider Hood and wanted to join the camp. And Mrs. Webb dressed up as Phyllis Diller. I think that they both are very good sports to do a thing like this.
Mr. Jerry Motes was a very nice man and he helped with everything at camp. On the night before the horse show all the girls and boys sneak up on each other and have water raids with buckets or cups of water. We all have a lot of fun. At night the beds are very hard, but you are so sleepy that they feel like feathers. Also at night you have a devotional and at night when we were going to sleep we all have fun giggling and laughing at each other. The cooks are good ones and they all make delicious food and
they feed you well with seconds and
thirds. It was very interesting to Joe Web
work THE ENTERTAINER. He is a real good horse.
Some of the boys names were Mi ' Griffin, Mike Goulette, Steve Me- Curry, Steve Clason, Winkie Groove * Hal, Bruce, Kevin Webb, Howar
Bob, Len, Jimmy. _ 0 I think boys and girls ought c > B
to this camp until they are eI £' and then I would like to be a coU, j lor. I’ m going back next yeai‘ ^aCj hope I have as good a time as this year.
