Description

Eight page booklet for the Camp Oak Openings printed with black ink on pale green paper. The cover has an illustration of two winged fairies dancing under a canopy of young trees. Inside, b/w photos show a girl leaping on a beach, four girls riding horses, a group of swimmers, a boat towing an early sort of water skiing called aquaplaning, children in the branches of trees, and a sunset over the lake. The text promises the value and safety of camp experience with snippets of lyrical poems. The back cover lists the directors as Jeanette Thomson, Etta M. Mount and Olive Pierce Haze and lists the Chicago offices at 6305 Kenmore Ave. Chicago.
