Country: Denmark
Section: chronicle
Tags: boy, swimming
Description: The colony Nordstrand is located on the Kattegat between Rørvig and Nykøbing Sjælland. In the early 1900s, the Frederiksberg Municipal Teachers' Association began sending children to the countryside, and in 1905 the municipal teachers' association established the first holiday colony. The children were to have fresh sea air, sun and plenty of food. Boys and girls were sent to the colony separately. The holiday colonies were a reflection of the 1900s' growing focus on children's health and well-being. Frederiksberg Municipality still sends children to Nordstrand every year.
