The camp is on the south fork of the Spring River, "next door" to Boy Scout Camp Kiakima. Phase 1 building, which will cost about $100,000, calls for a dining building, bath house and the septic system. "That probably means we'll tent camp next summer," said Mrs. Woodard. "Butif by some miracle the fund-raisers get the money together for cabins, we anticipate we could start building them as late as March and still"te ready for our summer sessions." The new camp, nine miles up river from the old location, will be an expanded version of the Miramichee that has been a household word to generations of campage Memphians. The old camp had 48 acres;. the new one has 148 acres. But the terrain of new Miramichee won't feel all that unfamiliar to the "old camp girls," whose nostalgia brings them back for visits, said Mrs. Woodard, an old camp girl herself. "It's amazing how similar the situation is; the creek that runs through the camp is almost in the same place. And the river is almost the same: White water above that is gentler widens into a good canoe-teaching situation and then slows even more to make a safe, lazy pool for swimmers. "The inner camp layout will eventually be a lot like the old camp too," said Mrs. Woodard. "There are some geographical memories that we will take pains to re· create." But everything will be better, she said. "For instance, while some of the cabins will be screened structures as before, oth· ers will be built so they can be winterized.

"Phase 3 plans include a swimming pool, tennis courts and stables. "We've waited a long time to think about this part of enriching the YWCA camp experience.
