| 520 | 8 | |a Since they were first established in the 1880s, children's summer camps have touched the lives of millions of people. Why were summer camps created? What concerns and ideals motivated their founders? Whom did they serve? How did they change over time? What factors influenced their design? To answer these and many other questions, this book looks at the most visible and evocative aspect of camp life: its landscape and architecture. It argues that summer camps delivered much more than a simple encounter with the natural world, but rather a man-made version of wilderness, shaped by middle-class anxieties. | |
