King's Lake Camp Association Plans
Far a Bigger Camping Season in 1952
Plans for • bigger 1052 King s
Lake Camp season were made at
the meeting of the camp auoct - :
ation held Monday night at the
G Street, Anchorage, home of El
mer Rasmuson. president of the
National Bank of Alaska and re
tiring president of the association. I
The newly elected president of
the association is Lloyd Morley.
Territorial sanitary engineer for
the Alaska Department of Health.
The list of trustees includes Wil
liam Rempel and Jack Maze of
Palmer, both of whom attended
the Monday night meeting.
The camp session will start
May 21 next year with the YMCA
taking the first two-week ses
sion. Arrangements were made
for a rotating schedule of camp
use by the several organizations
which use the camp. Girl Scouts
will have the camp for a four
week period this year because of
the huge increase in membership
in the Anchorage area. Although
each girl’s stay was limited to
one week last summer, many
Girl Scouts were unable to at
tend camp because of lack of
room.
Next year’s schedule in session
order includes: YMCA, two!
weeks; Boy Scouts, three weeks; 1
Presbyterian Church, one week;
Girl Scouts, four weeks; 4-H
Clubs, three days; Church of God,
one week; and Lutheran Church,
one v.eek.
Over 700 children were able to
make use of the camp last sum
mer. Next summer with the in
crvaard season. it is hoped that
900 will be accommodated
The financial report for the
past season's operations showed
no profit. Fees are kept to a min
imum to make the camp avail
able to all children in the area.
The King's Lake Camp Associ
ation is a non-profit organization.
Any profit remaining after pay
ment of operating expenses
would go theoretically for equip
ment. Since there has been no
profit, much needed equipment
comes from donations by service
organizations and membership
dues in the King’s Lake Camp
Association. In the near future,
Maze said, there will be a mem
bership drive in Palmer and An
chorage to give anyone interested
in camping opportunity for the
youth of this area a chance to
join and become a voting mem
ber of the association.
