Indian Lake Camp Reunion

October 12, 2008, Philadelphia

 

Hello Indian Lake Campers and Counselors!!

I-n-d-i-a-n Lake, C-a-m-p Camp, we loved you……

 

We think it’s time for an ILC Reunion.  Even though camp has been closed for

40 (!!) years, it still exists in the hearts of all of us…we each remember ILC summers among the most special times of our lives.

 

How vividly we remember Firefly Night, The Fair, campfires with Chief and volleyball with BIB.  Friday lunch on the barn lawn (oranges being tossed every which way). Wish Plates, jacks on the bunk porch.  Candy line and Ma and Pa Kettle movies.  Roller skating and dances (Matt’s flashlight had to fit between you, the long way).  Comic books at rest hour, boxes of Paddles arriving from Atlantic City.  The Sha-Boom Room and music… Johnny Ray, the Beach Boys and Motown. That funny green stuff we sprinkled on the bunk floor before sweeping (what was that, anyway?!)  The annual musical, counselor hunts and Color War. The Lonesome Pine and canoe trips down the Delaware.

 

Have we hooked you yet?  COME, share great stories, renew old friendships and meet anew as “grown-ups!”

 

Thanks to Ron Cohen (ILC ’47-’54), we have an Indian Lake Camp website which contains over 1070 ILC Alumni, photos and more.  Please visit the site:

www.IndianLakeCamp.net

Use this email address to send an email to the site and say hello or share a memory.

TODAY, we ask that you:

1)     Review the list of the missing campers/counselors posted on the web site and add additional names, plus addresses of your siblings, cousins and other familiar names at the end of the survey sheet. (We have over 1000 names but less than 400 addresses.)

2)     Help plan your reunion by hitting your “reply” button, fill out the survey, add names (as requested above) and hit send (whether you think you will come or not, please.)

 

 

Friends, friends, friends, we will always be….
