It was located on Cow island in lake Winnipesaukee.
I was just getting over my trauma about summer camp when I noticed it was Lake Winipesaukee . I think I need to call Dr. Leo Marvin for extended therapy !

Back in the day, we had open-air structures on a slab. Kind of a big version of a highway picnic shelter with cots for 8 kids and a counselor. There were canvas walls that could be rolled down if a thunderstorm came through. The latrine / shower building had running water, but it was walk.Campers stay in climate controlled cabins with private bathrooms and showers.

Back in the 50s, I attended YMCA day camp; my parents didn't have the money to send me away to those sleep over summer camps. Day camp was OK, but probably nothing like what most of you experienced.
Really?Wow, I am astounded by the envy some seem to feel regarding summer camp.
As you may know, Saugatuck is a really picturesque little upscale resort village now, we visit once or twice each summer. The "orientation" may have changed since you last visited if you haven't been there lately. First time we visited I walked by a T-shirt shop and there was a shirt in the window with "Saugatuck - where the women are tough, and the men are pretty." Being a little slow on the uptake, it took me a few minutes to figure it out. DW likes going there, I always hold her hand there...DW and I met at summer camp on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan at Saugatuck, Mich. First as high school age campers and later as counselors. As inner city kids, we thought it was a great place to spend some of the summer walking the beach hand-in-hand as lovey-dovey teeny boppers. That would have been in the early 60's.
Being poor when your friends aren't really sucks, especially when you are a kid.
