Synopsis
Planning a transformative open‑air program for urban youth A detailed look at a girls’ camp project as part of a broader recreation and education initiative. The plan outlines a two‑week stay near a lake, with comfortable tents, meals, and supervision from a dedicated team of counselors, nurses, and activity directors. It also notes costs, scholarships, and long‑term goals to broaden access and deepen impact.
This edition highlights the rationale, logistics, and expected outcomes of returning to nature as a channel for health, learning, and social growth. It frames a sustained camp effort as part of a larger movement to extend educational and recreational opportunities to working girls and city children, alongside ongoing club and community activities.
- A full camp design: location, site layout, tent organization, and essential facilities like a mess hall, social hall, and nurse’s room.
- Staffing model: a camp director plus five specialists (nurse, physical director, play director, nature/education director, and a general assistant), with room for student assistants.
- Financial plan and access: estimated cost, funding targets, and scholarships to ensure no girl is turned away for lack of funds.
- Extended vision: potential future uses, including family weekends and expanded open‑air programming, plus a goal of daily, guided excursions beyond the neighborhood.
Ideal for readers of nonprofit history, urban reform, and early playground and camp movement who want a clear, practical example of planning, funding, and execution.
