For more than seventy years, thousands of girls have had the Waldemar experience. Camp Waldemar, located just west of Kerrville in the beautiful Texas Hill country, has been the summer home to some 20,000 young ladies ages seven to sixteen, since 1926. The authors trace the growth of the camp-in "kampongs" as well as "tribes"-and the development of a legendary camping experience. The spirit of Camp Waldemar has continued through several generations now, and the stories that have been told around campfires for that long are told here.
