Back From Longhorn
Recreation Laboratory
Mrs. Pat Richman of Palacios is
one of 80 people from Texas and
Louisiana who just returned from
a week of studying techniques and
learning new skills in recreation
leadership at Longhorn Recreation
Laboratory. The lab is a non-
profit get-together of folks in-
terested in recreation. Dates of
the lab were February 13-20.
Held in the Texas Lions Camp
for Crippled Children, the Labora-
troy trains leaders in recreation
so they can carry home what they
learned to stimulate interest and
promote recreational activities in
their own communities. After a
week at the Lab, any member will
be happy to explain the set-up to
anyone interested in recreation who
wants to attend.
Training includes such fields as
music and singing games, discus-
sions, metal craft, leather craft,
wood painting, silk screening and
block printing, ceramics, folk and
square dancing, ceremonials, party
planning, outdoor cookery, pro-
gram planning, landscaping, rope
craft and camp craft, singing, and
many others. Resource people who
guide activities came from wide
geographical locations for the lab.
Attending the camp are repre-
sentatives of chamber of commerce,
camp fire councils, city recreation,
4-H Clubs, high schools, hom$,
demonstration clubs, Farm Bureaif)
Kerrville State Home, Hogg Foun-
dation, homemakers, Texas and
Louisiana Agricultural Extension
Services, National 4-H Committee,
farmers, etc.
The first Laboratory was held
in Athens, Texas, in 1950 and is an
annual event. A theme of “Fun’s
in Season” set the stage for the
week’s activities. Food, costumes,
decorations, games center around
the theme for the day. The Long-
horn Recreation Laboratory is
guided by a board of nine people
elected by the lab attendants.
Lab members landscaped one of
the camp buildings, using native
plants they dug up and trans-
planted for the Texas Lions Camp
for Crippled Children.
