Title | International Youth Camp - Dick Brennan |
Abstract | Dick Brennan started in youth work in 1962, and it is thought that in 1965 he started going to the International Youth Camp in East Mersea as Entertainments Office. He was also joined there by his wife Eileen, and 11 year old son Richard who started as a child, a camper and finally on the staff. Dick had a collection of photographs from his years at Essex Youth Camp, and Richard has now been donated his collection to Mersea Museum. The photographs are thought to be 1965 - 1967 and are dated where possible.
