Dear Tim,

Many thanks for the material you sent me. I found it all very interesting and, frankly, was amazed at the many things you've accomplished since we were last together.

However. none of the material has any value for a story on wheelchair bowling.. Would you please reread my letter and see if you can answer the specific questions relating to wheelchair bowling.

Tom Knowles called me the day he arrived here and we were able to get together for dinner and drinks ttnce during his stay. I believe I was able to put him on to a couple of good leads including the Disney b'ound­ation which seemed to exhibit considerable interest.

Incidentally, if you should make the trip to the Union of South Africa and need a press secretary ••• keep your little brother in mind.

Sincerely,

A. Nugent Jr. 24 W. 11th street L s Angeles 6, Cal.

April 4, 1962

Dear Tim,

Thanks again for inviting me to the tournament. I had a great time and am only sorry you were kept so busy that we had little chance to talk.

I've enclosed two clippings from the L.A. Times on the tourney and one from the current issue of Time Magazine on the Carnegie Institute.

The Time story seems to suggest that the Carnegie Institute may be the s ource of the funds you need.

Also enclosed is a copy of my employment resume sent in antici­pation of the South African Tour and/or the possibility that you might run into someone who could use Cit ·"bright young man."

I received word this morning that BOWLINGO is again on relatively solid financial footing and as I will probably go to Phoenix in the next ten days to wrap up the first is s ue would very much like to have the wheelchair bowling material. How about it?

Sometime in the future I'm going to send you a couple of designs for next year's tournament program, which, of course, you are welcome to use or not use in whole or in part as you might wish.

The flight back was scenic ••• and bouncy. The pla.ne was brighter and more comfortable than the one we had flown out on.

We ll, big brother, that's all for now so how about that wheel­chair bowling material and a l etter from you.

Jim •••

6 . A site f or those activities that involve be~n r~; using and interpreting the national environment.

DEFINITIONS

Since the outdoor education recreation center would constitute a camp

or a complex of camps, the follo'wing definitions of camping as given by the American

Camping Association* is recommended as a basis for developing the objectives

and policies of the center.

CAMPING

"Camping provides a creative educational experience in cooperative

group living in the out-of-doors. It utilizes the resources of the

natural surroundings to contribute significantly to mental, physical,

social, and spiritual growth."

Organized Resident Camping

is an ' experience in group living in a natural en:v:i.'lt'onment.

It is a sustained experience under the supervision of trained

leadership.

Organized Day Camping

is an experience in group living in a natural environment.

It is sustained experience carried on during the daytime under

the supervision of trained leadership.

Organized Travel Camping

is an experience in group living in a natural environment.

It is a sustained experience under the supervision of trained

leadership. Its mobility enables it to take advantage of a

wide variety of desirable environmental locations and worthwhile

educational opportuniti.es.

Organized Family Resident Camping

is a sustai~ed creative, educational and recreational experi.ence,

under trained leadership in cooperative group living in the out-

of-doors. Major emphasis i,s upon tamily centered activities

with participation of family groups in program planning. It

utilizes the resources of the natural surroundings to contribute

significantly to mental, physical, social and spiritual growth.

MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS

The center should eventually contain necessary facilities for the

following areas of outdoor ... education tecreati.on:

1. Resident camping f or children, adults and families

2.. Day camping

3. Outpost and primitive camping

4. Family camping (unorganized) pr~viding none is accessible

to the center.

The facilities and area should be designed to accommodate the following

for training and research purposes:

I. University classes

2. Boys, girls, co-ed groups and their leaders

3. Special groups:

A. Children and adults wi.th physical and/or mental handicaps B. Senior citizens ~ 65 years and older C. School classes ~ ·where resident. an.d day campi:ng are

utilized to develop concepts and teach skills and other­wise supplement and enrich instruc.tion in subject. matter that can best be taught and learned in the out-of-doors and through group living 24 hours a day for an extended period of time (5 days or more).

4. Adult groups of teachers and laymen.

1. Privacy

The camp or camp cO'mplex: should be a communit.y or connn:unities

to themselves away from the distractions and annoyances of

densleJY populat.ed areas. The use of c:towdedwaterfront areas

or pools open to the public at. the. same ti.me, or a bi-section

of! the site by a pu:bl:i,c road, constit'ute less than maxlmum privacy.

Housing developments, commercial and industrial enterprises,

resort areas~ power boats, etc~, contribute to a lack of

privacy. Some c.onsideration must be given. however, to the

Page 10: This document was created by the Digital Content Creation ...archives.library.illinois.edu/erec/University Archives/1606001/box_003...p)roval of thr e hundred thousand doll r ( 300,000.00)

- 4 -

relative degree of privacy in relation to the general area,

and emphasis should be placed on the desirability or un-

desirability of surrounding land u~e.

Maximum privacy is necessary for outpost and overnight

camping so the true benefits of outdoor living can best be

appreciated.

2. Availability of related areas

Adjacent and nearby camps, wildlife preserves, historic areas

and farms available to the camp for program purposes consistent

with the objectives of the owner or agency enhance the value

of the site for program purposes.

3. The site and available access areas should provide resources

to enrich the outdoor living experience. Programs are enhanced

with the availability of:

forests fields, undisturbed & cultivated streams ponds and lakes

gtar,shes hedgerows hills

4. One acre or more of land per camper should be available and

usable. Each camp should comprise at least 95 acres; thus,

if more than one camp is located within a complex of several

camps, allowance should be made for the average of each camp.

Southern Illinois University has a 1,400 acre site with other

lands available. Indiana University at Bradford Woods has

2,300 acres.

If Allerton Park is to be considered available and usable

for program purposes some of the park would have to made avail-

able for such activities as woodcrafts, tent camping and out ...

door cooking in addition to nature sbu<iy hiking and other camp

activities.

Unless adequate area is available, the site will deteriorate

from overuse. Compaction of soil will create problems in the

management of flora and fauna, break down trails and other-

wise cause erosion problems. INSERT #1 - See Page 6

8. Water sUEElY

Sufficient potable and safe water has ~-l priority in site selection.

Water should be available at all times to meet the needs of the

camp and campers, and provide not only for the personal and pro-

gram needs, but fire protection as well. State and land laws

will be carefully considered and obeyed.

The following general water requirements should be considered:

A. With flush toilets--50 gallons per person per gay B. Areas without flush toilets - 30 gallons per person per day C. With a camp laundry - 100-150 gallons per person per day D. A storage tank located high enough to provide gravity

flow and pressure in case of power failure and large enough to hold three days normal supply should be included. A one-day reserve would be an obsolute minimum.

E. A drinking water outlet should be available within 100 feet of each living unit.

F. A bubbler and a spigot should be provided at all water sources.

G. Drinking fountain height of 25, 29, and 36 inches will take care of the various age groups. A set of 2 or 3 safe steps will help younger children use the higher fountain.

FACILITIES

Facilities are constructed only to serve a program and to insure the safety

of the campers. Facilities should be constructed to meet program needs; the program

should not be determined by existent facilities. No facility should be built un-

less it meets long-term, as well as immediate needs. All facilities should be con-

structed in accordance with a master site plan for development and/or improvement

and utmost care must be exercised to preserve and protect flora and fauna. Buildings

should be fitted into existent landscape and contours wherever possible.

5. The site should be free of unnecessary hazards, such as

steep bluffs and deep water along shorelines. Poisonous

plants and animals must be controlled or elimi.nated in

heavily used program areas.

6. Roads and trails should be located so that traffic will not

be a hazard or disturbance to the camp community.

7. The campsite should be effectively drained. Accumulated

soggy areas and stagnant pools after heavy rainfall should

not be present and there should be provisions to prevent

abnormal erosion of soil from slopes and paths.

MASTER PIAN

1.. The plan cannot be prepared without~

A. Detennining the basic philosophy of the total program B. Establishing both short and long range objectives "

2. A camp consultant qualified i.n both training and experience

should be selected from a list of recognized consultants.

The consultant should be utilized in the choice of the site.

3.. The plan, should not be hurried, but should progress as fast as

accurate data and funds pennit.

4. The Master Plan should be a changing thing subject to review

J. and consistent with changes in philosophy, needs and ne knowledge. "

5. The following must be considered:

A. Is a camping experience essential in this era?

B. What are the justifications of the camp?

C. Who will use the camp?

D. What are the specifi.c needs of the groups that will use the

camp?

E. What 'IXIi.I'1 be ' the extent of its Use ~ per year and seasons?

F. How many people must it accClnrrnodate - average?

G. How much will it cost and what will be the initial costs?

H. How will the camp be financed, to what extent and when?

6. The plan should provide for multipurpose, wide and varied use.

7. Maximum use should be made of technical and p'rogram planners

who can best serve the i.nterests of the camp.

8. Planning and work should be done wi.th the State Board of

Hea1th, water engineers and representatives of the state and

local agencies and not agai.nst them.

9. Camp architecture should not be a barri.er <!Sainst nature, but

shou1.d be an expression of nature.

Recreation Hall - All camp or units

The unit recreatiok h_ll, ecommended only for permanent cabin areas,

is not used for sleeping. 'The buIlding design should a llow for the following~

i. 15-20 sq. ft. 'per camper and staff p·erson for the maximum number that would use the hall 'at anyone time.

2. The hall should be of simple construction with plenty of protected . space. Rainy day programs especially require adeq~ately protected areas.

3. The hall might be just a roofed shelter with open sides and ca~vas drops. Double ga~age doors that slide up overhead are worth considering for protection against the weather~

4. A fireplace is highly desirable for cold and for rainy weather. A raised 'area 2-3'inches in height has been advocated in front of the fireplace for safety purposes. The fireplace could be designed for both inside and outside camp-outs.

5. The structure should provide adequate ventilation and have sufficient exits for all to leave quietly with a minimum of confusion.

6. There should be plenty of space for wet weather clothing, toilet facilities in the hall itself or nearby, and plenty of storage space to protect program equipment.

7. The hall could contain a comfortably furnished lounge for staff meetings, relaxation away from campers, after taps relaxation, etc.

8. An all-camp recreation lodge should contain a small kitchen.

Camper Housing

1. Living units must provide a minimum of 40 sq. ft. of f loor space per occupant with 50 sq. ft. being preferable. All living units should have 400 cubic ft. of air space per person.

2. Minimum otal window area in living quarters should be 10% of the floor area and if the only window is a skylight, it should be 15% of the floor area.

3. Large dormitory type sleeping rooms should be avoided if at all possible. Rooms with 10 or more occupants must have at least two doors connecting directly to the outside.

4. If it is necessary to construct dormitoryetype rooms they should be sub-divided by means of partitions so that no more than 6-8 campers will be together.

5. Double deck beds should be ~voided, and singIe beds should not be placed closer than 4 feet end to end. There, should be 6 feet (absolute minimum of 4) between each bed. Heads of campers should be at least 6 feet apart.

6. Windows over beds should be avoided since they tend to create drafts.

7. All living cabins or ~ents should be spaced at least 50 ft. apart and locate~ not less than 150 feet fro~ toilet facilities.

8. All living C1uarters should be capable of bei ng ea.sily .c l eaned and should look clea.n \,rhen finished.

10. One or t'to hinged tab les in each living area. for ~ainy days, letter writing, etc. 'will be helpful.

11. S~aff quarters req,uire careful consider.tion for staff of both sexes, staff with children, etc. Ninety to 120 sq. ft. of floor space per ~~rson is not excessive for senior staff m~er~~ Privacy is a key factor.

12. Limit buildings to one floor if possible. The use of 2 or more story buildings in camps i s question$d unless ' each floor has direct access , to the ground.,

Sani t ary Facilities , ;

1. There should be f , ush toilets in the centrtJ.l camp area in all permanent units, and f amily housing.

2. There should be a ratio of at ~ea'st one toilet seat f or each 10 persons or one seat for every 15 persons and one urinal for ever y 25 male persons. It is assumed that no building will be used solely by males or females.

30 Toilet stalls should start 12 inches above the flQor and extend 5 to 5% ft. above the floor. G~~vity hinges should be provided on doors of the stalls so that they ~emain open if not in use.

4. The base of unina1$ should be flush with the floor and the floor pitchtd to drain into uninals especially in latri nes. I, All parts of the floor sho~ld be pitohed to provide good drainage. Adequate floor drains must be provide4.

5. Wash basins should be located nea» the entrances and within 20 ft. of toilet ,facilities. When individual wash bas~ns 'are not used, there should be a rotio of one sink to ' l5 persons, or if multiple washing units are used, one sink t 'o every 35 person~,
