Custom Search     Ella Fohs Camp Pond     I attended Camp Ella Fohs for three consecutive summers--1951-1953. A fellow named Lefty was the director, I believe, and the dining hall, on a hill, was fairly new. For an inner-city kid from the Bronx it was a wonderful experience. I think the Jewish Agency helped subsidize what my parents had to pay. I had an opportunity to return as a counselor for the summer of '62--wish I had! Says John Sherman I worked in camp Ella Fohs in 1969. I came there as a     student from the Netherlands. I have a very positive recall at the months I spend there. Says Ton Melis I went to Ella Fohs 73 & 74; wonderful summers!! learned how to play basketball there; P.S. I remember you, Robin Graw! Says Bob Wolfman My mother Barbara Silverman (now Chichester) had some of her happiest childhood days at this camp. Says Barbara Silverman I was a camper in the mid 1950's would love to see pictures of the camp if anyone has them. Says Robert Abolafia I attended the camp for a few weeks from June to July of 1972. Tho I missed home for a few days, by the end I really loved the experience. I remember the director was a man named Balsam(last name)       and I think one of my counselors was a guy named Joel Goldman. We got picked up by bus in The Bronx and dropped off at the same place, right by the Stadium. great experience!! Says Roger Linden I attended camp as a camper starting   around 1961 and worked as a counselor, waiter on the senior side and assistant cook till around 1974?. I have had several reunions with staff, campers and administration. Says Mark Chipkin Anyone out there who attended Ella Fohs as a councelor in 1960-63? JERRY SIMON WHERE ARE YOU? Says Eileen Brown I attended Ella Fohs as a camper and a counselor. The time was early 1950s - 1955 Says Susan Morse Ressel 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 Says Ellen Knebel 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?? Says Richie Stein (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 Says Vicki Cook 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. Says Helpful 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. Says Robin Graw 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 Says mitchell morris          Map Detailed Map Marinas Marinas on or near Ella Fohs Camp Pond Weather Local weather forecast
