I don't remember where the patch was supposed to go, but I
think it may have been part of our official dress camp
uniform (long dark green shorts, white blouse, dark green tie, knee hi
tassels, etc.)... I have very fond memories of Camp Addisone Boyce (in
Tompkins Cove, NY) - had a ball at summer sleep-away camp 1971 - 74.

Andree Clark |
Westchester-Putnam I was a
camper at Andre Clark during the 1960’s!! I remember so much…..such as
the tents we slept in and some of the group names. I have a few pictures by
the pool. I remember the lake and there was a frog called Prince Charming
that sat at one end of the lake. I remember the dining hall and always
having ‘top and sweep’ as my job and also remember the little store where I
bought soda and stuff (can’t remember the name). I was passing through
there recently (Briarcliff Manor) and had no idea it still existed!

| High Rock |
Greater New York
In 1951, the Boy
Scouts sold the property to the Girl Scouts Council of Greater New York.
There are varying accounts as to why this site, located between the Pouch
Camp and the Moravian Cemetery at Rockland Avenue, was named High Rock. The
most obvious and widely accepted explanation is that the land is high and
rocky just beneath the topsoil. Gretta Moulton (1912-1971), an energetic
camping consultant from Massachusetts, helped with the Girl Scout Camp’s
program. Recognizing the magnificent beauty of this place, she worked to
preserve it from the growing pressures of urban development. Gretta Moulton
died in 1971, and her ashes were scattered in the park. In 1995, a gate to
High Rock Park was erected to commemorate her contributions. This gate,
designed by landscape architect Bradford Greene, depicts chipmunks,
squirrels, turtles, and several plants native to Staten Island. A walking
trail named for Moulton begins right inside the gate. The trail, marked in
green, crosses a small creek and runs through forests and seasonal wetlands. |

My Mom and Dad (Bob and Barb Shepard)
were Site Co-Chair's for Camp Wendy for several years. I received a
patch one year for helping put the tents up and then taking them down.
I have many fond memories of camping with my family and my Cub Scout
Pack at Wendy! Please feel free to use my image submissions on your
website.
