Description:
Ingram, Kerr County, Texas:: [The Camp],.. Fifteen halftones; [16] pp. 8vo, stiff printed wrappers, front pictoria. No other copy located; OCLC has a 1947 brochure for this camp which is still in existence today.Herbert Crate opened Camp Rio Vista in 1921 between Ingram and Hunt on the Guadalupe in Kerr County. One of the camp counselors was a young man called Roger Staubach, who later played for the Dallas Cowboys.Crate was the Director of the Houston YMCA. The parent organization had established camps along the eastern seaboard and Crate felt the idea would succeed in Texas.According to an article written by Jane Ragsdale in the Kerr County Album, Crate's first summer was not what he expected: He had been promised by a hundred men that they would send their sons if he opened a camp—however Crate found himself with 21 counselors, and only 16 boys. His words of wisdom for those who followed: “Never start a camp from scratch.”
