Ethel Hollister's Second Summer as a Campfire Girl

A young girl returns to summer camp, balancing college life with outdoor duties as the season brings visitors, Scouts, and communal projects. Social tensions and changing relationships surface, notably between her and a rougher campmate, while friendships deepen through shared tasks, outings, and campfire traditions. Family concerns and surprises—weddings, a house purchase, birthday and holiday celebrations—interweave with personal growth and small acts of service. Subplots follow other girls improving, a Scout patrol's positive influence, and a relative's regained youthful spirit, creating an episodic sequence that alternates between camp adventures and domestic interludes.
