One of the ambitions of service groups like Chicago's Hull House was to provide urban youth with an opportunity to get out and experience some clean fresh air. The Hull House on Chicago's Near West Side took children from the surrounding neighborhood out to the Joseph T. Bowen Country Club every year from 1912 until 1963. The Club was financed by social activist and philanthropist Louise deKoven Bowen, and was located on 72 hilly and forested acres near Waukegan, Illinois. Young people from the city would come out to the grounds in two-week shifts and take part in team sports contests, learn how to dance, and also take art lessons. This wonderful photo collection from the Special Collections Department of the University of Illinois at Chicago's library presents over 480 images of life at the club. Visitors to the site will find images of camp activities, the grounds, social life, and the broader milieu of the place. It's quite a find and one that will be of interest to persons with an interest in Chicago history and the history of outdoor recreation.
