Thousands of children attended summer camps in twentieth-century
Ontario. Did parents simply want a break, or were broader
developments at play? The Nurture of Nature explores how competing
cultural tendencies - antimodern nostalgia and modern sensibilities
about the landscape, child rearing, and identity - shaped the
development of summer camps and, consequently, modern social life
in North America. A valuable resource for those interested in the
connections between the history of childhood, the natural
environment, and recreation, The Nature of Nurture will also appeal
to anyone who has been packed off to camp and wants to explore why.
