Along with his wife Elaine, both collaborated on a wide body of work\/activism including operating a summer camp in NH. Locating this fascinating photo of the Eastman\u2019s daughter led me to a closer examination of the US summer camp phenomenon in the early 20<sup>th<\/sup>century. Immediately, summer camps bring to mind the outdoors, tents, swimming, campfires and most importantly, developing life-long friendships.\u00a0In other words, camps are memorable fun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_167\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-167\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-167\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/arx340-lmoynahan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/389\/2019\/04\/Training-American-Girls-as-Indians-300x226.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/arx340-lmoynahan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/389\/2019\/04\/Training-American-Girls-as-Indians-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/arx340-lmoynahan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/389\/2019\/04\/Training-American-Girls-as-Indians-768x578.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/arx340-lmoynahan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/389\/2019\/04\/Training-American-Girls-as-Indians-1024x771.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/arx340-lmoynahan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/389\/2019\/04\/Training-American-Girls-as-Indians.png 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charles and Irene Eastman featured in an article in the Boston Post June, 1915.
