Question

. Read the extract given below and state in not more than 50 words of your own, the

main problem of having summer camps and the advantages of such camps. [10]

Fifteen or twenty years ago there were few summer camps for children. Because even those few

were very expensive; only the wealthy could afford to send their sons and daughters to them.

Within the past ten years, however, the number of camps has greatly increased. Those privately

owned are still too costly for most parents; but the rates charged at many others, such as those

operated by welfare societies, and by the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, are not beyond the

average family income. To underprivileged boys and girls, similar recreational facilities are

offered free of charge by many civic organizations.

Camps provide peaceful living away from the danger, noise, and heat in the city. Good food,

clean air, and proper rest make their bodies strong and healthy. Purposeful activities, carefully

planned, teach them how to work, play and live with others. These activities give them a better

understanding of right and wrong than they could obtain in any other way. Through the training

given in arts, crafts, and sports, children progress mentally and physically. Certainly, then for the

full development of their sons and daughters, parents ought to give them the benefits of a

summer in a modern camp.​
