Boys Training Camp to Be Held at Fort Russell
A junior military camp for boys ages 15 to 17 will start in July at Fort Russell. Similar camps are planned for Fort Benjamin Harrison and Fort Des Moines.

The Fort’s facilities and climate are praised as ideal for the training, with local support high. The idea mirrors earlier efforts and aligns with National Educational Association backing for government-directed drill and vacation camp life.
