Ella Fohs Camp Pond, Litchfield County, Connecticut     Custom Search User input for Ella Fohs Camp Pond, Litchfield County, Connecticut: Susan Morse Ressel: I attended Ella Fohs as a camper and a counselor.  The time was early 1950s - 1955 Ellen Knebel: I was at the camp from 1963-1969. It shaped my childhood. My mother was there when she was a kid too. I found her name carved into one of the bunks on the rafters: Sydell Freiman 1949! Shame it's not used anymore for innercity poor kids, like we were. Ellen Knebel Richie Stein: I'm sad to hear that the camp itself is not there any more. I worked there in 69-73...I began working on ''the senior side'' and we livrf in ''the mansion'' for one summer. ...There was a house at the middle of the camp itself where the camp director lived. Is it still there?? Vicki Cook: (2008) I know the family that owns this beautiful property. A few years ago, I volunteered as a companion (weekly visits over a 2 year period) for his 90 year old mother, Millicent. The owner's name is Kenneth Helpful: The camps location is 62 Big Bear Road, New Milford, CT. My friend's grandparents own the property. We hang out all the time. Our girlfriends actually just hosted a jewelry party in the mess hall last weekend. We've gone through many of the cabins in the last few years. We tend to gather and have bonfires near a couple cabins just up hill from the ball fields. Robin Graw: Attended camp from 72-74. I visited the camp in the last few years. That is the location I believe. We called it a lake but I guess it really was a pond! Looks very small now compared to what I remember. Huge house on senior side was built and the rest of the camp is totally overgrown. It was very sad. mitchell morris: I went to a camp Ella Fohs back from 1967-1972. I want to know is this the old location where the camp was located.mm714@verizon.net Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Review Guidelines        Really glorious skiing awaits you at Mohawk Mountain; unsurprisingly Denman Brook flows through this neighborhood.
