At last, summer camp is back on track! Celebrate with Andy Sweet's high-70s camp photos in 'Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah'

Last summer, kids the world over missed out on the universal heaven/hell experience of summer camp. We couldn't be happier to feature one of our favorite summertime staff picks of all time, Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah: Andy Sweet's Summer Camp 1977. Collecting 109 gloriously addictive photographs made over the summer of 1977, when Sweet was the photography instructor and a counselor at Camp Mountain Lake in North Carolina, this is both the greatest memory trigger a former camper could ever wish for, and a book to to celebrate the reopening of camps across the country. Never have feathered hair, terry cloth, sweat bands and tube socks looked so fresh. These are photographs of kids—and counselors—living the high life, at their happiest and most independent, made by a person who was in love with summer camp himself.
