Cold Water & Candles

Pat Czerny - Then & Now!

“I started there as a camper in 1943 at almost 8 years old - my first time away from home. I continued to go there every summer as a camper until I had my first job there in 1951 working in the kitchen and then as a counselor until 1956. I remember we washed ourselves and our clothes in cold water – the only kind we had. On the last night we each put a candle out on the lake and as they floated away we sang together. There were tears for the wonderful memories we shared.”
