The young women at “Fairlee Manor Camp,” as it used to be known, had the right idea in this undated photograph from another undoubtedly hot Eastern Shore summer.

Are you sure this is at Camp Fairlee Manor and not Drayton Manor? The pool at Camp Fairlee has been there 50+ years and looks nothing like this. Camp Fairlee serves special needs clients.

Definitely Drayton
