Recreation Handbook for Camp, Conference and Community
Roger E. Barrows
McFarland and Co., 2010, 319 pp., $45.00
Need another book that has everything required to fill a camp or retreat program with games, stories, skits, songs and devotions all for under $50? Then this book is for you. It aims to be a one-stop shop for all the ideas currently scattered in various books on the shelf and random slips of paper tucked into camp files.
Most will have this material in various forms already, though some good stories are included that could be fun around the campfire. Readers will not find spiritual content of any depth, and the songs included are more suited to a Cub Scout troop than most youth groups. If you never have attended a camp and find yourself organizing one or if the local scouts asked you to host them you might want to pick this up, otherwise organize those random notes and save yourself the expense.
