- catalog description "In 1915, inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, Blanche Hirsch and Clara Altschul purchased 45 acres of land in the woods near Denmark, Maine, with the goal of establishing a camp providing city girls with an outdoor camping experience and an appreciation of nature. Camp Walden opened in 1916, with thirty girls enrolled for the nine-week season; the number of campers soon grew to over a hundred. From its earliest days, the camp sought to create an atmosphere of trust, respect, and consideration for others, with an emphasis on sportsmanship and giving your best effort. Girls were taught a variety of land sports, as well as swimming, rowing, and arts and crafts. Hirsch and Altschul also established the traditions of campers' creating a newsletter, Splash, and going on overnight camping trips. Other traditions included the "bunkshows" performed each Saturday night by different cabins, and the Banquet Night celebration at the end of the camp season. In 1938, Helen Herz Cohen, a former counselor at the camp, and a niece of Blanche Hirsch, was named director of the camp. She later purchased the camp and remained its director until her retirement in 1995, when her daughter Wendy took over as director. In 1968, Helen Herz Cohen established The Main Idea, a 10-day free summer camp program for disadvantaged girls. As of 2013, the camp is overseen by a board of trustees selected by Wendy Cohen.".
