Camp Douglas
Smith
Camp Douglas Smith was established in 1912 as
Camp
Winnetka.
Dr Davis gave 20 acres of land to Winnetka Neighborhood House
for use as a camp for the boys and girls of
Winnetka,
Illinois.
Over the years it was used by many children groups including
civic groups, scout groups and church groups.
Hamlin
Lake residents have many
memories of seeing the twenty-man canoe heading for the dunes.
And they remember the beauty of the fleet of sail boats from
the camp sailing on the lake.
Hearing the camp bell ring is also a favorite memory for old
timers on the upper lake.
