HISTORY OF THE FRESH AIR SOCIETY

1941-1949 : THE WAR YEARS

Restrictions during World War II challenged the camp
administration, with food, gas, and tire rationing and
shortage of medical personnel, as well as, a younger
inexperienced staff. Every serviceman's child who want-
ed to come to camp was given the opportunity. In addi-
tion, Irwin Shaw, had to leave camp and serve in the
U.S. Navy.

After the war, Detroit's population expanded and even
larger camping facilities became an urgent need.
