A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way...
Got an e-mail from where I went to camp in 1973 and 1974
http://www.merrickwoods.com/
I looked at the photos on the site and some stuff looked familiar (amazed I remember so far back).
I won't be able to send Alan there (but would) as it's too far away from NJ.
That camp and one where I worked briefly in the summer of 1980
http://www.campdebaun.com/ appear to be the only ones left from my childhood.
Other ones I remember or went to in Oceanside, NY are gone: Treasure Island and Camp Allen (worked there the last summer it was open in 1979) and Bar-H Ranch (which was behind our house, I'd watch the summer swim shows from the street and spotted our house umbrella in the back of camp photos).
I wonder where Alan will go to day camp when he's older. (I suspect he won't be spending a summer in sleepaway camp like I did for 3 years - 2 8 week sessions and 4 weeks the first year).
