A camp director’s handbook from the early boys’ camp movement, covering the purpose of camping, choosing leaders, picking a site, equipment and personal kit lists, discipline, the day’s programme, moral and religious life, and food and cookery, with many practical tricks for building fires and rigging a camp kitchen. Its first-aid advice belongs to 1913 and should not be followed today.
A charming period piece for scout leaders, camp historians and anyone nostalgic for the old summer camp. Download the free EPUB.
