This was a camp for materially poor children, some of whom never got out of their “hollar,” so going to overnight camp for a week was a great adventure for them. I recall the day the first group arrived. The children – all boys, age six through twelve – tumbled out of the bus and chaos ensued. Some did not have an overnight bag. Some did not have shoes. Some white-skinned kids had never seen brown-skinned kids.
