The Spirit of War Camp Community Service was a wartime program in the United States, formed in 1917 to provide recreation, entertainment and social welfare for soldiers and sailors at training camps and for the civilian workers who lived near them. Pictures bearing this title from 1918 typically show the organization's ideals of wholesome leisure and home-front support for the men in uniform. The movement drew on volunteers, local communities and private funds to build clubs, dances and concerts, and it reflected a broader wartime effort to keep young servicemen away from the temptations that camps and nearby towns often presented.
