I was lucky enough to go to Camp Belknap for 2 years ('64/'65) and then even luckier with a new adventure at Camp Idlewild for 2 years ('67/'68).
My father went to Camp Idlewild in the mid-30's and then was a counselor there for 2 years... he will be 93 on July 7th, and hopefully we will get him out to Pine Island again for the day... last year thanks to SkprBob (also an Idlewild alumni) the Captain of the Sophie C gave him a nice birthday shout-out and got the passengers to wave as they went by!
My two off-spring went to the Y-camps on Bear Island for 3 years in the early '90s.
I loved the lake and my parent's house on the island so much, that when their neighbor's house came up for sale in 1998... I bought it!
Enjoy the summer! -PIG
