Ok Mark Walsh, wherever you are (Harrisburg as I recall) Yes I and Don Marren were your councelors. I have the picture you posted. Gerard is on the bottom row at the far left end. Carl Celantano is the singer. I am in the top row 11 from the right. Don is right behind me. This was before your...

What happened? This thread was out to about 15 or 16 pages the last time I looked!

If you have read through all these posts you know I was a councelor there in 1970. We did a lot of wet hikes but the horses and Batsto all happened after John Sherry took over in '71. I was in the cub village, Cabin 13. I check in here occaisionally and will somehow post some of my pictures...

Since it has been almost two years since I made my last contribution to this string I guess we can assume that Facebook has taken over. A shame.

Great Pictures The pictures are great guys. I will put some of mine on this summer as soon as I get my nephew the computer wizard over here to help me. It was forty years ago this week (6/24/2010) that I reported to Pat Dolan at Camp Columbus as a councelor. Man, where have the years gone? I'll...

More Memories Seeing drintrnts postings has kicked up another memory. He talked about the "raids" at night. Yea, shaving cream on a sleeping kids hand, tickle his face with a feather and watch while he put the hand full of shaving cream on his own face. We were also pretty good at picking up...

DRINTRNET'S memories. I can fill in some blanks for you. The guy with the missing fingers was Tony Bless and his assistant in the cabin was Bob Sweeney, who later opened cabin 18. The guy fired by Pat Dolan, the director in 1970, was probably "Graz" short for Graziano. He was the cub village...

A visit I took a ride to the site of the camp. While everything is now gone there is still evidence that something was there. I walked up to where the directors house was located and there is a pvc water pipe sticking up out of the ground there. In what was the cub village there is an electric...

Staff member 1970 I recently "googled" Brian Vouglas a councelor in the cub village in 1970. I never saw so many hits for an individual in my life. He is an actor/performer living in San Francisco where he moved in the early seventies. He does a lot of voice acting (voice of a computer etc.)...

I'm back. Haven't been here in a while. Good to see so many more postings. I only wish that more former staff members and campers came upon this site. I'd love to hear from Mark Avery again. It's summer, schools out, so I'll probably take a ride down to the camp sometime soon.

The camp today Hey people, go to Google Maps. Type in Bamber Lake, NJ. Go to the satellite photo of the area, click on hybrid and zoom in. The corner of Hurry Road and Good Luck Road is what you want. The two large green area's are where the camp was. A tennis court and basketball court are now...

Can't wait to see what he has. John

Staff members of the 60's Some of the councilors I remember when I was a camper. Mr. Evans & Mr. McKeever of the cub village 1963. Bill Candy in 1964. Rupert Hartman & John Sherry in 1965. These years might be off by one. There is a camp group photo taken in the mid sixties where Sherry appears...

2nd stanza of the song. Softly falls the light of day, as our campfire fades away. Silently each boy should ask, have I done my daily task. Have I kept my honor bright, can I guiltless rest tonight, have I done and have I dared everything to be prepared. Mark and Kevin Avery as stated were...

Evening in the Rec Hall "Old Mcdonald had a dog and Bingo was his name O, B-I-N-G-O repeat 3 times and Bingo was his name". "I've got six pence, jolly jolly six pence, I've got six pence to last me all my life". Those two songs come to mind along with an occasional movie (I remember the Globe...

Even more memories Hikes: The ghost factory, ghost trestle, Indian Horse shoe, Huckleberry Island and Piney Beach (the next beach on the lake, visible from the water front). Boating on the lake and the water fights between boats. Archery up behind the Callahan's house and Shop where you learned...

More memories. Bug juice was Kool-Aid. Being on the staff you found out these top secret things. Some other things to be remembered in the Mess Hall were the 5lb. cans of government surplus peanut butter, the green picnic benches with formica tops that we ate on, councilors setting up and...

Anything is possible. I'm just repeating what was told to us and what we told the kids in 1970. I have some old 8-millimeter film that I transferred to video a few years ago and the ghost factory is in it as well as some scenes from the camp. I'll talk to the TV Tech people I work with and see...

The ghost factory was supposedly an old munitions factory that used bog iron to make cannon balls. I think it's on the other side of the road from the Bamber Lakes Fire Co.
