About This Book

A group of young Camp Girls and their chaperon set out on a summer cross-country hike and face a sequence of outdoors challenges: they get briefly lost, sleep in a barn, and must rescue an unconscious woman after a lightning-caused fire. Using maps and agreed trail signs, they cope with swampy ground, prowlers and rival tramps, and frequent mishaps while an eccentric motorist intermittently rejoins them with food and transport. Episodes blend practical camping craft, endurance contests, improvised rescues, and musical interludes, with repeated tests of resourcefulness, teamwork, and steadying companionship leading to a safe, orderly conclusion.
