Florence "Flossie" Foster was Camp Director and Director of Health and Physical Education Department at the YWCA. As far back as the early 1920's, the need to escape the hustle and bustle of city life was considered important for young women who had moved to the city to find work. The YWCA served as a safe haven for this new work force of young single women, a place to recreate, an appropriate place to eat their meals together in the YW cafeteria, a place for Bible and book study, and a place to find friendships.
