Camp Hilbert, Maidens


Unchanged since 1947, we suspect...

This outpost of the Jewish Community Centre is hidden in a woodland clearing, just outside Richmond, and is utterly simple, charming and incredibly peaceful.

Well, slightly disturbed by the girls' having a wild time in the water with their friend Tess and random others. Plenty of wildlife too, including the ever-present spiders - a leaping wolf on this occasion, giant ants and butterflies.
