"Camp Orapax is built around three sides of a valley."

Y.M.C.A. BOY'S CAMP WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY 

The State Boys' Camp of the Y.M.C.A. will open Wednesday when 100 boys leaders in the HI-Y club in the high schools throughout the State gather for ten days of camping and intensive training in leadership and recreational activities. 

The camp, know as "Orapax," is situated in New Kent County near Bottoms' Bridge. It is the the gift to the state association of St. John Duval, and it has been equipped through contributions of people from nearly every part of Virginia. It is expected that the Central "Y," community fund agency, will make the most use of it because of its proximity to the city. 

Camp Orapax is built around three sides of a valley. In the valley is a lake to be used for swimming and boating. On one side a large mess hall, with ample facilities for feeding hungry, growing boys, with refrigeration, ranges and all the equipment of an up-to-date kitchen. At the head of the valley a large assembly hall is to be built in circular form, with provision for a council fire in the center.
