Geneva Lake camps provided education; activities; spirituality; and community in a healthy environment away from the city. The first sites were located on the western shores of Geneva Lake; with Camp Collie established in 1874; seventeen more followed. Although most camps were spiritually based; they differed in what they offered and who they served. People attending the camps came from all income levels and many cultures. Adult- and family-oriented camps provided a setting for vacations or conferences; and children�s camps prided themselves on fostering responsibility and solid values. Images of America: Camps of Geneva Lake highlights 18 camps in the days of woolen bathing costumes; steam yachts; and platform tents.
