CRANBERRY LAKE, N.Y. - The -Cher-RomorteiTraterflity of sea scouts of the Plast Ukrainian^ Youth Organiza– tion conducted their annual sea scout– ing camp deep in the wilderness recesses of Cranberry Lake in New York state's Adirondack Mountain State Park. Forty-five Plast youths, boys and girls age 15 and up, as well as 18 instructors and staff participated in the one-week camp, held July 27 through August 3. The number of campers had to be restricted as in previous years due to limitations imposed by the New York State Department of Conservation on intensive uses of natural park areas because of the combined effects of acid rain on the deterioration of ecological resiliency as well as a tremendous increase in recreational uses of these areas. At least 20 youths had to be turned away from this year's camp. The campers stayed, on an unin– habited arm of Cranberry Lake known as Dead Creek Flow, where rarely was anyone outside of the camp participants seen during the entire week. This was probably just as well, for the vibrant singing ai eveningcampfires thathelped fend off vagrant bears and coyotes reverberated throughout the mile-long arm. The campsite was prepared from the ground up. it is a wilderness area and must be maintained as such. Therefore, everything is transported to the site, first by cars and vans, then over six miles of water surface via motorboats and canoes. Campers put up their own instructors and campers at Plast's sea scouting camp held in Cranberry Lake, N.Y. tents and then assist in building all the larger camps needs: kitchen, dining positive responses - unexpected be– 1985 camp was Dr. Andrij Wojtowycz; compatible.
