Campfire Girls at Camp Andover 1950

Many thanks for your response, GreensKeeper.

Spoke to my mother last night and the info you passed re The Boston Missionary Society rang a bell with her. She also recalled that there was a boys camp nearby that they competed with so it all adds up.

I’ll do a little more sniffing around for more information now that we have the correct location.

Would it be possible to see the photos of Camp Andover that you have?

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Kind regards,

StuMont

I'll see if my mother knows (remembers) anything. My parents ran a girls camp on Winnisquam (????) back at that time. I don't recall it being Camp Andover but the name escapes me at the moment.

All the pictures I have are small black and white prints. None are in a digital format that I could send you. If you are ever in this area, my wife and I would gladly show you want we do have. We have a collection of prints taken by another camper from the boys camp and assorted post cards and such.
Sorry, couldn't be of more help. I could scan them but the photos are wallet size and would not work well with my scanner.
I have tried to scan one of the brochures I have but they are in a .tif format that is not supported by this site. I will try and send them to you privately.

Thanks Mee-n-Mac & GreensKeeper.

I managed to get copies of my mother's photos and have attempted (with limited success) to add them to PhotoPost. They're awaiting approval as I write so hopefully will be there once this post is logged.

I'm afraid the picture quality is not up to much but hopefully they will be good enough for someone to recognise themself or perhaps a relation or friend.

I do have a few more photos of more of the girls and the camp which I'll try to upload soon (I'm short of time at the moment having to kids to bathe and put to bed).

Kind regards,

StuMont
