Oars up! Seven girls prepare to enjoy Lake Devereaux as they learn to maneuver the large dragon-headed rowboat in mid-July of 1970. All are properly wearing life vests. The girls were part of a large contingent of 250 attending the Girl Scouts camp throughout the summer; there were also 140 girls attending the Camp Fire camp as well. The O.D.I. camps began on June 22nd. As an added note, the five canoes pictured in the background and foreground were Willits canoes, built by Earl and Floyd Willits on Day Island.
