I was a camper from 1954 (in Bambi Hall) through 1959. So many great memories … although Hurricane Carol (the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history at the time) at the very end of camp in 1954 is not one of my favorite memories. I was 5 years old in 1954, but the memory of being evacuated to a shelter and returning to camp the next day to see animals floating in the pool is very vivid.
I was a camper, waiter and counselor at Delawaxen from 1953 to 1962. I have many camp photos.
