Description
Photograph shows a girl with a rope dangling at her waist practicing archery. She has notched an arrow and pulled back her long bow aiming it at a target in the background. She is in a clearing and surrounded by forest. The location is probably the YWCA's Camp Ayun Mapu in Big Basin, California.
The YWCA's Camp Ayun Mapu at Big Basin near Boulder Creek attracted about 150 girls for two week sessions in the summer. From Fran Smith, "Breaking Ground:The Daring Women of the YWCA in the Santa Clara Valley, 1905-2005," (2005), p. 51. Big Basin became a state park in 1902.
