School Camp Group

A group of campers and counselors at the School Camp in Danbury, New Hampshire, circa 1928. The School Camp, with its ample fields, lake, and neighboring woods and mountains held abundant opportunities for sports such as swimming, canoeing, hiking, mountain climbing, treasure hunting, baseball and track. Each camper contributed to the welfare of the Camp by the performance of a daily task, such as waiting on tables, washing dishes, or bringing in wood. For many years the School Camp provided a happy summer holiday for inner city youth and provided an opportunity for SPS students of that era to engage in a valuable community service project.
