I always enjoy reading these camp stories. I attended Camp Brookwoods in Alton for two years, 1958-59. Even though we had a camp at Alton Bay, it was still a great time. Camp Brookwoods has been in operation since 1944 and is still going strong. They also have a sister camp for girls, Camp Deer Run, plus some programs that extend beyond the camps.
