Off for the summer with fresh air to breathe. Photographs taken at Camp Nyoda, a camp for girls in Oak Ridge, New Jersey in the long ago but fun summer of 1920. Promotional photographs shot by Jessie Tarbox Beals who was a professional photographer who probably worked off part of her daughter Nanette’s camp fees by shooting these.
