In 2013, I started a Facebook page about the camp.
Below are the photos posted and related comments through 2014.
David made a number of inquiries to determine whether anything remained after 1993. Unfortunately, he received confirmation that everything else was disposed of when the camp closed.
Thanks to Jon Fine for providing a number of camp slides as well as some Super-8 movies which have been digitized and edited.
He learned that Jon had saved some of Bert’s personal slides and movies.
The movies are definitely the greatest find of all. A complete documentary “day at camp” film from the mid-60’s is the highlight.
The material obtained from Jon would appear to be the very last in existence.
