Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Day campers at the Girl Scouts' Cookieland Camp try a game called walking or riding the cans. In contrast to the racial strife characteristic of the headlines of the 1960's, some Oklahomans are quietly erasing demarcation lines seperating black and white. For a full week this summer 36 adults and 69 cadettes and senior Girl Scouts cared - cared for 100 girls from Oklahoma City's Negro-dominated Lincoln School. Their volunteering gave the young girls - many from homes with working mothers - their first camping experience. Tinker Sends Buses Buses furnished by Tinker Air Force Base and the Midwest City Public Schools transported them to Fun 'N' Sunday at Red Lands Council's Cookieland Camp southeast of Oklahoma City on S-3. Volunteers in many ways were average Oklahomans, but they had moved beyond talk to practical experssions of concern. Directing the five-day camp was Mrs. Lester Walton of 10825 N Utica Dr., and experienced day camp director who served previously in the regular day camping program for member scouts.
