This past week, we visited the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library to view a display of various archives relevant to the city. One display that caught my attention was of a summer camp in 1934. Bolton Summer Camp was a means of bringing nature back into kids’ lives, about getting them active outside of Toronto. The camp was for less fortunate children who generally weren’t given the opportunity to go to camps in hopes of creating excitement and admiration for nature. This reminds me of the opportunities I’ve been given to go camping and skiing throughout public school and high school, trips that were offered to students to generate a desire for adventure and respect for nature. Those trips contain some of my favourite memories, I can image that Bolton Summer Camp also held the same value to many of the children photographed above.
