Scope and content
One little boy looks intently into the waters of American Lake, perhaps wondering where his fish has disappeared to, in this June 26, 1968, photograph. The blond child was participating in the free summer camp administered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. held at the National Guard facility at Camp Murray. 3000 Tacoma-area children, ages 7-21, were given the chance to attend camp at Camp Murray since the guard was not using the facility that summer. There were no specified income level requirements permitting the children to attend but about 90% of them were from low-income homes and many had not had the chance to go away to camp before. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. (TNT 7-28-68, insert)
