1950s: Camping in a Changing Society.

Camping Magazine, v72 n6 p24-25 Nov-Dec 1999

In the 1950s, camps benefitted from society's renewed wealth and vigor but also saw the beginnings of racial strife. An illustrative article from 1958, "Points To Remember in Planning for Integrated Camping" (Ray Finley), discusses integration fears and provides tips for preparing staff to carry out integration policies. A 1959 chart outlines average camp staff salaries. (SV)
