111 - Camp Pioneers of Joy Camps
| Page from Joy Camps photo album displaying five photographs. Young campers are participating in a number of activities, including tennis, seesawing, boating, and archery (these campers are identified in the original caption as being from 7 to 12 years old and living in 'Camp Pioneer')." Original caption notes: "Interests and activities and day-to-day living are geared to the individual needs of this lively and happy group of younger children. A special play field at their back door was added during 1936, of which the see-saw is a popular part. Stress is given where desired on the fundamentals of tennis and small, light-weight bows bring archery easily within their reach. The kayaks are just the right size, and fishing is as popular at 7 as at 17. Counselors in this section are chosen because of their special interest and training in the needs of this age. These campers adjust quickly to group life, and learn outdoor skills and camp ways with surprising speed and ease." |
