Going to Summer Kamp with the KKK

The Ku Klux Klan operated a resort called Kool Koast Kamp near Rockport, Texas in the 1920s. It had all the amenities you'd expect of a camp, fishing, swimming, “watermelon parties,” and educational activities. Meanwhile, you would be protected by "the fiery cross." And there was plenty of shade to protect one's delicate skinned from the sun. See a brochure for the camp at Slate. Link
