About This Book

The narrative follows a group of young women who establish a Camp Fire summer camp, inspired by a motto urging beauty, service, knowledge, trustworthiness, health, work, and happiness. Led by energetic organizers and joined by shy newcomers, they learn outdoor skills, self-reliance, and cooperative living while forming friendships and social bonds. Their summer includes domestic and moral lessons, camp rituals, and interpersonal tensions that escalate into a worrying disappearance and resulting suspicions, all of which shape the group's development through the season's close.
