Can young women survive and prosper in the great out-of-doors?
That is the question Dr. Susan Kingsbury and Florence Marshall set out to answer when they opened Alford Lake Camp in 1907.
The first summer at ALC, eighteen bold young women spent eight weeks in the woods . . . and so the legacy began.
Since the summer of 1907, there have been only four directors, Dr. Susan Kingsbury (1907-1949), Mrs. Carlton (Gertrude) Knight (1949-1962), Jean Gentry McMullan (1962-1993), and the current director, Sue Stocker McMullan (1993-present). Each of the dynamic leaders have guided ALC in a unique way, creating an atmosphere of respect, warmth, challenge and community.
