Like Joan, I'm very glad to have found this Forum. I was at Treasure Island from 1960-1963. And - like everyone else - I just Loved it there. Being on an island made it very special. I remember the climbs up Mt. Major too, and sailing to Ship Island and past Minge Cove. But in 1964 I started at a private camp near Wolfeboro - Camp Kehonka - and I learned that summer that Treasure Island had been sold; it ceased operations as a camp that year. Of course, I was sorry to see such a treasure turned into home sites (and felt the same way many years later when the same fate happened to Kehonka).
