Recreation leaders are not born - they are made!
So says E. O. Harbin, nationally known authority in this field. In The Recreation Leader he shows:
- how to discover and develop recreation leaders in the church and community
- how to base a recreation program on a wholesome philosophy of life
- how to evaluate correctly the role of recreation in character training
Harbin shows that anyone who is really interested can become a skilled recreation leader. He outlines the basic philosophy behind sound recreation programs and points out specific activities for them - parties, indoor and outdoor games, banquets, folk games, sports, picnics, hikes, nature studies, camping, playground fun, plays, music, reading, story-telling, and hobbies He also indicates activities suited to different age groups, selected readings on recreation, and sources for equipment.
