Hi all, I was at Camp deal for I think 7 trips over 7 years from around 1961 to 1968. I was there when the counselor was struck and kI’ll ed by lightning. There was another injured as they sat under a large tree when a quick thunderstorm came. They rushed us in to the bunks. I too have very fond memories of camp. Including sending home a card to my paren’t saying I lost my shoe. And then another card saying I found it. I got in trouble when a few of us broke into the theatre, yes we had a theatre too, as there was a pay phone there and some of us including me called home.
I also remember Mrs Golding coming in her Rolls, Black beautiful and letting us go inside in back from one side out the other. And she came into the kitchen and brought more white bread out and put on our tables. My only complaint is why change the name even though she donated millions and camp was moved to PA as the Deal property was worth millions too, they should have kept it named as Camp deal. Afterall it was/is a boys camp, duh.
