Description
Young campers and older mentors weave baskets in the Camp Office at Lanier Camp in Eliot in 1913 or 1914. The camp used various activities to "make life genuine and beautiful."
The children, sitting on the floor, are Josephine Lanier, at left, and Sterling Lanier, David Lanier, and Perry Harlowe.
