| Page from Joy Camps photo album displaying two photographs and two captions with extensive details of the camp's war efforts. Several campers in each photograph are sitting at or near a wooden table sewing; the table sits under a rough, light structure of logs and boards. Some of the upper caption applies to this page, and the lower caption applies to a different page of the album. Original caption for this page notes: "The 1942 season found us all active in many types of useful war work... In addition, we worked hard on Junior Red Cross service projects, which included the knitting of squares for afghans, etc." |
