Whispering Pines Announces Staff
Southwestern Jewish Press June 26, 1953 Page 2

Camp Whispering Pines, Julian, Calif. Under the direction of Albert A. Hutler and Maxwell Kaufman, proudly announces the completion of its 1953 staff, for its four week season, beginning July 20, 1953 to August 16.

Besides Hutler and Kaufman the staff will consist of Sheldon Lerner, cook and woodcraft expert, Don Stone, former swimming coach and field director for the American Red Cross, who had the responsibility of teaching swimming instruction to Red Cross swimming instructors, Mrs. Dick Raun, former nursery school teacher; Harvey Goodfriend, who will be in charge of hikes and trips; Michael Soule, nature-lore, and Bobby Beck, assistant swimming instructor.

Located a mile and one-half from Julian, on the Banner Grade Road, Camp Whispering Pines is in the heart of the pine and oak Cuyamaca country.  A full program of camping, including nature-study, campcrafts, hiking, outpost camping, athletics, games, swimming, horseback-riding, outdoor cooking, rifle marksmanship and archery, all under top supervision is being offered.

Living quarters for the campers are the best, and include showers, wash-basins, and all sanitary facilities with each cabin.  A maximum of eight campers and one counselor will live together as a cabin unit.  Meals will be served in the spacious dining-room, overlooking the hills and peaks of the mountain range.

Registration for boys and girls between the ages of seven and fourteen are still being taken, but since the number of campers that will be accepted this summer is limited, parents are urged to register their children immediately.  The fee is $160.00 for the four week period, or $40.00 a week any period from one week or more.  Registration may be made by contacting Maxwell Kaufman or Albert A. Hutler.
