Camp atwater 2015
Camp Atwater is a summer camp on Shore Road in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. It was established in 1921 on the shores of Lake Lashaway on property donated by Mary Atwater, to provide a summer recreational experience for African-American boys, at a time when summer camps were generally racially segregated. The camp catered primarily to middle- and upper-class African Americans, and drew attendees from up and down the Atlantic coast. Notable attendees include Coleman Young, Clifford Alexander, Jr., and Wayne Budd.
