Curiosity

what did summer camps look like in the 70's and 80's ?

Mimicking Native American traditions such as council fires and storytelling generated a sense of community .Typically, girl campers wore their hair in a version of native style. Uniforms were standard in most camps, but braided hair and headbands were common attire for campers. For camp parties, girls would dress in special Native inspired dresses. In this era, camps were considered to be a natural pathway for young girls to develop healthy bodies, self-assurance and a sense of community.
