...we're certain you know one of them!
Below is the opening paragraph found in a Lookout Mountain Camp Brochure dated in the 1930's:
...
"If you are looking for a "place to park" your boy, some convenient location for his summer's outing, you will not be interested in the contents of this brochure. If you are looking for something cheap, without regard for what you may be getting for your money, then we respectfully request that you read no further.
But if you have a sincere interest in the welfare of your boy, if you consider the next few months as a most valuable time in the formation of his character and outlook in life - then we ask you to give serious consideration to what we have to offer, the background and equipment of our Camp, the qualifications and personalities of our staff, which should inspire your boy to do his best to measure up to your own ideal.
This Camp is not operated automatically or as a robot; it is human, with a heart and a purpose and a plan. The main compensation of its owners has been the satisfaction derived from contact with the boys and the opportunity to be of real service to them in a program of character-building and physical development. Our program accords your son the opportunity to participate in a lifelong experience that simply cannot be found at home or in the school. In fact, the object of this Camp is solely in the interest of the development of the Boy and it is endowed to this purpose. "
