Real photo postcard of Boy City, a camp that was once located along Lake Charlevoix in Hayes Township. The idea for the camp came from "Judge" Willis Brown of Salt Lake City, Utah. Work on the camp began in the summer of 1909 and it opened the following year. The camp may have had a short life, as there is little mention of it in local papers after the first season. #charlevoix #charlevoixmi #charlevoixmich #charlevoixhistory
