Girls at a teen camp

Title

Girls at a teen camp

Description

Black and white image of a group of fourteen girls, outside, with camping gear. The girls wear a variety of casual outfits, jeans or shorts t-shirts with sailor collars, or flannel shirts. Some have sleeping bags, while another at the lower left of the picture just has a rolled up blanket. Many wear their hair braided, though some have chin-length hair. They are outside, gathered in the grass beneath a pine tree. Museum records do not identify the girls beyond stating that they are at a teen camp. This image is part of the Herbert E. McMullen bequest. McMullen was an area photographer who also collected other images and photos of daily life and events in Washington County.
