A true 1965 time capsule, virtually unchanged 54 summers later. But letting 30 year-old oak trees grow six inches from the foundation is a good illustration that things have not been entirely right at the camp for quite some time.

Although the building has had relatively light usage during its useful life and is conceptually perfect, what was pristine in 1965 has become seedy with time. The camp was big on spending money on flashy projects while letting existing facilities track well beyond their useful life without updates or quality repairs. Over time this would drastically erode their core business.

What I like about this place is that it makes time travel back to 1965 possible, virtually nothing has changed. You can't find many spots where this experience is even possible, let alone this intense.

In 1965 the boys got the short end in this coed building, 12 of us shared this basic training type open bay barracks. The girls were four to a room with a dresser and closet, while we got those tiny little wooden cabinets. Amazingly they eventually crammed even more bunks into this area (I counted 18 beds), now so close together that warning signs about communicable diseases in cramped quarters were taped to the bunks (I am not making this up). Had these living conditions existed in 1965 I doubt if my parents would have paid for me to attend.
