Connecticut – Summer Camp
In 1861, a photograph was taken at Gunnery Camp in Connecticut, which is considered the first summer camp in the United States. The Gunnery Camp is regarded as the initial summer camp in America. This image shows some of the fortunate people who attended the camp and had a good time participating in activities such as fishing, trapping, and boating because the organizer couple, Frederick and Abigail Gunn, ensured they did.
Currently, the site where the photograph was taken is a boarding school near Litchfield Hills.
