This thesis offers an evaluation of the historic significance of an early-twentieth-century all-girls camp from the perspective of gender theory and feminism. To accomplish this evaluation, this work specifically examines the case of Camp Merrie-Woode, an all-girls camp, in Sapphire, North Carolina. It explores the impact of gender norms and relations on the development and preservation of the spatial organization, built environment, programming, and traditions at Camp Merrie-Woode to illuminate areas of womens history that have often been overlooked. Archival research, landscape documentation, and interviews were conducted to chronicle Camp Merrie-Woodes history, the landscapes physical changes, and its existing conditions. The study reveals that Camp Merrie-Woode is a significant cultural landscape, whose characteristics initially promoted gender equality by subtly subverting gender norms. The camp continues to empower its female campers through the preservation of its historically-significant landscape characteristics.
