The original manual of the Camp Fire Girls, an organization among whose founders were Dr. & Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick, was published in 1912. The motto of the Camp Fire Girls, "WoHeLo," was also the name of the Gulick's summer camp on Lake Sebago, ME. It stood for "work, health, love." "The primary purpose of Camp Fire," said Dr. Gulick, "is to promote service to others, team work, and opportunities for a well rounded life."

The philosophies of healthy living laid out in this book were developed while Luther Gullick was director of Physical Training in the New York Public Schools. He dedicated this 1907 work to Theodore Roosevelt, who he viewed as his model of healthy living.
