| Summary |
"A Day at Camp Killkare; Or, Aunt Jane and the Campfire Girls" by Elsie Duncan Yale is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. This book presents an enjoyable story about camp life and the interactions between young campers and their rather conservative chaperone, Aunt Jane. The narrative focuses on themes of friendship, outdoor adventures, and the challenges of adapting to a more relaxed lifestyle compared to the structured one that Aunt Jane is accustomed to. In this light-hearted story, a group of Campfire Girls, led by their teacher Miss Morgan, eagerly await the arrival of Lucille and her Aunt Jane, who is skeptical about the camping experience. Aunt Jane's visit quickly turns into comedic chaos as she is encouraged to participate in camp activities, despite her initial disapproval. The girls engage in various camp chores, swimming drills, and cooking, all while trying to make Aunt Jane feel welcome and to show her the joys of camping. Over the course of the day, Aunt Jane's rigid perceptions slowly begin to soften, leading to a delightful transformation as she ultimately embraces the camp experience and agrees to let Lucille stay for the summer.
