For those fortunate enough to have had the experience, it would be hard to forget the recreation- filled days and the evenings of songs. and‘ hot chocolate around the campfire. The swimming, boating, fishing, hiking’ and other sports activities are still part of the experience in the 1980s. But now there is a whole new dimension — the computer. From their beginnings just a few years ago in the United States, computer camps are now becoming the rage in Canada. In.addition to a wide var- iety. of day computer work- shops in the Vancouver area, there now are several. facil- ities in. southwestern, B.C. offering | computer camps with stays ranging from five days to a week.
