Campbell right founder and owner of the Arrowhead Dude Ranch summer camp for boys and girls watches as members of the senior class are put through their paces in horsemanship Examiner Photo Big gamble paid off for dUde ranch owner By RICHARD THOMAS The Examiner BLUE MOUNTAIN When you love horses and kids as much as Max Campbell does the obvious thing is to bring them together He realized this 25 years ago which is why he quit promising job as an accoun tant with large insurance company in Toronto to start the Arrowhead Dude Ranch at the foot of Blue Mountain near It was gamble then more so than to day he recalls and his family thought he was crazy was little surprised at the violence of their reaction says Campbell 64 of softspoken silveredhaired man with western clothes Certain members didnt speak to me for years after didnt realize how unacceptable it was at that time The gamble paid off however and to daythe Arrowhead Ranch is highly suc cessful boys and girls camp and one of the largest of its kind in Canada With stable of 60 horses and its em phasis on horsemanship the camp at tracts kids six to 16 mainly from the Toronto area but from all over the United States as well and even as far away as Holland Germany and Japan LEARN TOGETHER The camp can accommodate about 150 kids at time and for week or two during the summer some stay all summer they come to Arrowhead to live sleep play work and learn together They bring their OWn bedding sleep in bunks learn to take care of themselves and the camp staff of about 30 including counsellors make sure they never have dull or idle moment Qualified counsellors and instructors teach them swimming lifesaving arts and crafts archery riflery and target shooting and of course how to ride and take care of horse There are the standard camping trips cookouts and singsongs but it is the high standard of instruction which keeps the camp in business says Campbell We try to make it fun but the kids who want to learn can learn lot he says We push and push and there is no limit to what they can learn Mike Marcello 14 of Toronto agrees This summer is his fourth at Arrowhead The riding is fantastic you really learn how to ride up here he says The personal attention and instruction is ex cellent WORK HARD Arrowhead is no babysitting operation and the campers have to work hard says Campbell During their stay they must log in at least 10 hours work around the camp in ad dition to striving for different achieve ment awards in the activities But the atmosphere at Arrowhead does far more for the kids besides foster keen sense of competition says Campbells town country wife Madge who although former Toronto model was raised on ranch in Saskatchewan and shares her husbands passion for horses and children They acquire maturity and sense of responsibility and when they start something here they finish it Nobody walks off and leaves it she says Campbell describes the process at Ar rowhead as one of character building The kids have to become proficient at something and this helps them develop far greater sense of confidence respon sibility and independence than hey do in school They also learn that adults are very ap proacbable and although they may only be teengers when they go back home they can look their parents in the eye he says Although the fees at Arrowhead are not exorbitant about $150 week but going up next year summer camps have tradi tionally been the preserve of the more af fluent Campbell says more and more parents however are willing to face the expense of summer camp for their kids and ex plains it this way The benefits of private school education have proven to be worth it and can say the same for camp Many of the parents who send their kids to Arrowhead obviously agree because 60 per cent of the camps business is repeat Says Campbell If you arent getting repeat business then you arent doing it right In the past 25 years says Mrs Camp bell Arrowhead has become almost home away from home for former camper many of whom come up for weekends Most of the counsellors campers who grew up there she says and several marriage actually took root and blossomv ed there including that of the Campbells eldest son Paul program director at Ar rowhead who married former swim in structor By the end of each summer more than 400 kids have become temporarily part of the Campbell family at Arrowhead ranch so to speak Another 200 or so also join the clan at the Arrowhead Waterfront Camp for sailing and water sports situated on Lake of Bays near Huntsville PHILOSOPHY The couples philosophy is that for lit tle while at least they have someone elses child to look after and can teach him something Attachments become so strong says Mks Campbell that almost resent giv ing them back to their mothers Campbell says retirement is still long way off for them and he intends to hang in there for the next 15 years When Mrs Campbell sums up the past 25 years it becomes quite obvious her hus band isnt that crazy after all Weve had fun and made living too it hardly works that way anymore Lewis criticizes bottle ban federal government ban against 15 litre coke bottles has been criticized by Doug Lewis Simcoe North MP Pointing out that the government does have responsibility to take action to pro tect consumers against dangerous pro ducts Lewis said stringent tests should have been carried out before the bottles were placed on the market feel that when the 15litre bottle was marketed there should have been some type of examination to establish whether it was safe or not by the government said Lewis He made the comment after being con tacted by Butch Orser owner of the Penetanguishene Bottling Company Orser told Lewis the recent government action against the Coke large neck 5litre bottle manufactured at the bottling com pany plant is unjust because it passed government standards in the tip test The government should set down ex actly what tests it plans on giving the large bottles and then give the industry chance to meet the test Lewis said DOLG LEWIS action unjust have already made this point and will do so again after the request from Mr rser Seven motorists face impaired driving charges Orillia OPP had an unUsually busy night Friday giving eight breathalyser tests and charging seven motorists with impaired driving On heavy night two or three drivers will be charged says Constable Neil Hurtibise He there are more impaired drivers on the road and more repeaters than ever before Last year Orillia OPP charged 280 im paired drivers and expect
