FOREWORD
Opportunities for good wholesome outdoor recreation have increased in rich measure during the past several years. Georgia's heritage of natural resources are being enjoyed more and more as people get into the out-of-doors.
-- With this increase in awareness grows appreciation and responsibility -- responsibility to use -- to enjoy -- topreserve and protect and responsibility
to pass on to those who follow a heritage of natural beauty as rich as our own.
Good, wholesome, well- constructed camping programs are playing increasingly large roles in the lives of Georgia's citizens of every age. It is with them in mind that this directory is presented. It does not represent an endorsement of any camp, but provides for those who seek a basis for conducting his own search. It is expected that this list will be an ever-growing, ever-changing one. Thus, its limitations here are to be expected, Additions to it will be appreciated.
Those who search for the "right" camp and the "right" outdoor experience should make their search with care, paying close attention to questions of philosophy, health standards, leadership, and program. No one camp can be all things to all people. But for each there is a vital, enriching camping experience some-
where waiting to be found. We hope it will be found in Georgia.

THE GEORGIA RECREATION SOCIETY, INC. is a professional organization
dedicated to the promotion of high standards of excellence for recreation programs throughout Georgia. Full and part-time employees in recreation leadership and administration, students, and volunteers interested in promoting quality recreation programs are invited to join. Preparation for this directory was made under the leadership of Claude Lewis, 1965 president. Inquiries should be directed to:
W. Carl Hager, President P. 0. Box 1038 Savannah, Georgia
