(c) School Camps.—The following particulars are taken from the
report to your Authority by your Director of Education
SCHOOL CAMPS, 1934.
The School Camps were held at St. Helen's for boys, and Sandown
for girls, during May, June and July, as in previous years. Forms
were issued to parents of children who were likely to benefit from
attendance at Camp, the selection being made on grounds of poverty
and ill-nourishment.
Parties proceeded from Waterloo on Friday mornings, arrangements
being made for conveyance of kit-bags to the station and
from Ryde to the destination. Tickets were obtained at half single
fare, and the whole of the transport arrangements worked smoothly.
Most of these children had never seen the sea, and the voyage to
the Island was a great adventure, while the delightful surroundings
of their new home, the historic places of interest visited, and
the good food and kindly care made a wonderful difference in health
and looks at the end of the fortnight.
The educational and general arrangements were on the same
satisfactory lines as in previous Camps, and the children were
medically examined before leaving. Ordnance maps were provided
and visits to the "Victory," "Iron Duke," and in one case, a
U.S. cruiser, were arranged.
