Description
Geneva Lake camps provided education, activities, spirituality, and community in a healthy environment away from town. The primary sites were situated at the western shores of Geneva Lake, with Camp Collie established in 1874; seventeen more followed. Even supposing most camps were spiritually based, they differed in what they offered and who they served. People attending the camps came from all source of revenue levels and plenty of cultures. Adult- and circle of relatives-oriented camps provided a setting for vacations or conferences, and childrens camps prided themselves on fostering responsibility and solid values. Images of The us: Camps of Geneva Lake highlights 18 camps within the days of woolen bathing costumes, steam yachts, and platform tents.
