Lewis Charles Reimann (1890 – August 20, 1961) was an American author, camp operator, politician and football player.

[3] In 1915, Reimann also won the Michigan and Big Ten Conference heavyweight wrestling championship.

[6][7][8][9] An injury limited his playing time during the 1915 college football season; he appeared only briefly in one game.

He noted the prevalence of alcohol on Michigan's campus: It was customary after a big victory and when thousands of visitors were in town for the average student to go downtown to celebrate.

[12][13] Reimann graduated from the University of Michigan as part of the Literary Class of 1916 and married Pearle Shewell on June 2, 1917, in Genoa, Ohio.

[12] The Fresh Air Camp was located on 4,200 feet of wooded lake front 10 miles north of Port Huron, Michigan.

[19] In 1921, Reimann described the first Fresh Air Camp in The Michigan Alumnus: Three sections of ten days each, beginning July 12, were crammed full of happiness for these street urchins, who indulged in swimming hiking, baseball, nature study, campfire stunts, songs and talks.

Most of the boys returned home heavier, and surely healthier and happier, because Michigan men and women proved themselves unselfish.

"[19]One author has described Michigan's Fresh Air Camp and similar programs as "the country's first attempts to conceptualize and intervene in the lives of 'at risk' youth populations.

[27] In his later years, Reimann also ran unsuccessfully as a candidate for mayor of Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1951.

[30] In August 1961, Reimann died at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, following a long illness at age 70.
