This is a brochure for Camp
Carry-on near Linn Creek in Camden County, Missouri,
for the 1919 season. Located on the Big Niangua
River, the camp offered
“military training for girls” in three-week sessions under the direction of
Natalie Wilson and Delle B. Corum.
Camp Carry-on
(sometimes styled as Camp Carry On) was located about six miles west of Linn Creek, Missouri, on
the Big Niangua River. This area is now probably under the waters of
the Lake of the Ozarks. The first of two three-week “terms” began on
1 July. The camp directors were Miss
Natalie Wilson of San Antonio, Texas,
who was a graduate of “Sargent’s School
of Physical Education,” and Mrs. Delle
B. Corum of Sweet Springs, Missouri.
The camp was run in military fashion, with “bugle
call” at 6:30 A.M. and taps at 9:30 P.M.
In between the girls went hiking and boating, learned crafts, swam, and
apparently engaged in “light” military activities, such as learning semaphore
signals and codes. The cost was $50 per
term.
