   camp song "aluetta, jaunty aluetta? The camp director Art would sing it at   
   breakfast and get us all going. I remember the plates of buttered toast,   
   scrambled eggs. pancakes and    
   bacon and oatmeal we had. The canoe trips the swimming, the crafts including   
   copper enameling I made my Dad a pair of cuff links. The "new cabins were nice   
   with bunks and screens on the window. The outhouses with the new ablution   
   system.

   cabins. Capture the flag. The "girls camp" across the way which we never   
   raided but talked about    
   it a lot. It was a great time of my life. The first times away and independent   
   from my parents even though we looked forward to the care package that would   
   come in the mail. It was a halcyon time in my life.   
      
   I also loved it when care packages came. Was there in the mid to late 60's How   
   about the song here we sit like birds in the wilderness, birds in the   
   wilderness waiting for our food? Great camp learned and loved it a lot.
