Download or read book Summer Camps around Asheville and Hendersonville written by Melanie English and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, western North Carolina has been a haven for summer camps, sustaining one of the highest concentrations of summer camps in America. For generations, the natural beauty, rustic terrain, and cool climates of the southern Appalachian Mountains have attracted campers from around the world. In the last decades of the 19th century, the summer camp movement arose in the Northeast in response to industrial era concerns about the waning of traditional values and new child development theories. By the turn of the 20th century, the first residential summer camps had emerged around the popular resort towns of Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Black Mountain, and Lake Lure, North Carolina. Founded on lakeshores surrounded by woodlands, these camps offered an array of activities, such as archery, canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, and woodcraft, that instilled lifelong lessons in youth and forged lasting friendships. Today, many of the same camp traditions like council rings and campfire stories are still passed along each summer. Readers will recognize familiar cabins and lakefronts with nostalgia in this collection of vintage photographs.

Download or read book The Farm Wilderness Summer Camps written by Emily K. Abel and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although summer camps profoundly impact children, they have received little attention from scholars. The well-known Farm & Wilderness (F&W) camps, founded in 1939 by Ken and Susan Webb, resembled most other private camps of the same period in many ways, but F&W also had some distinctive features. Campers and staff took pride in the special ruggedness of the surrounding environment, and delighted in the exceptional rigor of the camping trips and the work projects. Importantly, the Farm & Wilderness camps were some of the first private camps to become racially integrated.The Farm & Wilderness Summer Camps: Progressive Ideals in the Twentieth Century traces these camps, both unique and emblematic of American youth culture of the twentieth century, from their establishment in the late 1930s to the end of the twentieth century. Emily K. Abel and Margaret K. Nelson explore how ideals considered progressive in the 1940s and 1950s had to be reconfigured by the camps to respond to shifts in culture and society as well as to new understandings of race and ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexual identity. To illustrate this change, the authors draw on over forty interviews with former campers, archival materials, and their own memories. This book tells a story of progressive ideals, crises of leadership, childhood challenges, and social adaptation in the quintessential American summer camp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SEASIDE SUMMER CAMPS by Gianluca Mancini(English Translation by Vicki F. Weinstein,Ph. D.)In the summer of 1997, in Ravenna, Italy, strange, obscure accidents, presages of death and old guilt feelings torment Manuele, but also Davide and Umberto. What links the three main personages, all 35 years old, an architect, an engineer and a wholesale toy salesman, is the Seaside Summer Camps on the Romagnola Adriatic Riviera: immense, imposing buildings erected in the 1930s in an apparently mad futuristic style to celebrate the social strength and dynamic power of the Fascist Regime and to combat childhood diseases with heliotherapy and thalassotherapy.The plot develops on two convergent planes: one in the present and the other in the 1960s, which is inexorably rejoined to the present. A third time plane buried still deeper in the past, in the Ventennio, the twenty year Fascist period from 1923 to 1943, emerges by surprise...There is an Evil advancing behind the scenes, coming from a tenebrous past...
