The Old Fresh Air Camp Dining Hall

I can't figure out if the campers dined on their institutional food cafeteria style or (because of the round tables)  family style so they could learn manners. It's been more than 40 years since anyone ate here. Did you go to a residential camp as a kid? Remember the big institutional gallon tins of fruit cocktail? Remember the cool little individual boxes of cereal, and the little milk cartons?

The Old Fresh Air Camp Ceiling

Now, before y'all start hunting around for this old camp seeking thrills and plunder, I want to let you  know 1)  there isn't anything worth anything, 2)  it's dusty, moldy, and has asbestos issues, and there's no water or electricity, and 3)  it's locked tight and it's on private property which I patrol with my pit bull Osama. This is the ceiling. Not healthy.

The Old Fresh Air Camp Furnishings

The few remaining dorm furnishings were all pushed into this corner, where they are rank with dust and mouse droppings. There is no question that the couch (or was it a daybed?) is from the 1970s, because I used to own one much like it.

The Old Fresh Air Camp Dorm

Taken inside the dorm where the Fresh Air campers bunked from 1957, when the dorm was built, to 1971, when the camp closed. This was the emergency exit. The counselors bunked in dreary small rooms (with private toilets) right next to this one.
