What year was you camp established? My overnight camp that I used to work at was 1925. Last summer I got to go back for the 80 year celebration! My day camp that I am working for now is only 5 years old!
Who old is you camp?

Just think for all of you who have been a part of you camp for a long time. Your a part of your camps history!

my camp was established in the 1920's as 2 seperate camps one all boys and one all girls. They eventually became seperated by age rather than sex and 2 new camps were eventually added to the milford site.

I know the land for our camp was donated to 4-H in rather 1963 or 1964...I think that same year they started running camps there. i use to know more of the history (went through it at training) but i was so excited about being at camp...i kind of forgot some (fine a lot) of it! :laugh2:

The land was given to the Boy Scouts in 1956 and they gave it to the GS in 1958 - we we are celebrating 48 years of Girl Scout camp. (I bet the Boy Scouts are kicking themselves now looking at the land value!) :)

My camp was founded in 1949. So it's about 56 years old or so. Our brother camp, though, was founded in 1904 and had a big party right after camp with lots of alumni coming back for their hundreth anniversery in 2004.

My camp opened in 1927, and has gained lots more land and facilities since then!

We celebrated the camp's 40th year this past summer. The camp, however, has had to relocate once during that time, but in total, it's operated for 40 years.
