Figure 1.--Camping is very popular in New Zealand. This included both Scouting and other youth group camping as well as school and family camping. This image is unidentified, but we believe it is from New Zealand.

HBC has collected information on a variety of activities in which New Zealand boys have participated in over time. Many of these activiities involve specialized costumes. Often the children. however, just wore their ordinary clothes. The available images thus show trends in English boys' clothing over time. The activities include choir, dance, games, music, religious observation, school, sport, and many others. New Zealand is blessed with a mild climate. The far noth of Nort Island is semi-tropical. The far south of South Island is temperate, but the Witers are not very hard. Thus outdoor activities, both sport and other activities are possible throughout the year, much more so than many other countries. In addition to sports outdoor activities like camping are popular. This included both Scouting and other youth group camping as well as school and family camping. Some of these images are interesting because they depict life-style information in addition to fashion.
