The Camp Fire Girls at Driftwood Heights

A close‑knit circle of seven girls at Miss Belaire’s Academy finds its bond deepened by the Camp Fire movement, and the story opens with Ruth Garnier’s proud elevation to Torch Bearer. The ceremony, set beneath towering oaks, swells with cheers and a heartfelt pledge to keep the fire’s light alive for others. As the girls celebrate, their camaraderie is tested by the arrival of a reluctant cousin, whose presence threatens to unravel the harmony they have built.

Against the backdrop of a summer retreat in the Catskills, the girls must navigate misunderstandings, rivalries, and the responsibilities of leadership while preserving the spirit of “Work, Health and Love.” Their shared adventures reveal the true meaning of comradeship, as each member learns to balance personal ambition with the collective goal of keeping the camp fire burning bright. The narrative captures the excitement and challenges of growing up together, promising listeners a warm, spirited portrait of friendship and youthful determination.
