Farrington Lake

 
 I was at Camp Farrington from sometime in the early 60's until the very early 70's... I feel those summers were some of the best in my life and gave me the inner ego strength to become the person I am now...

Lorna I think we were friends... Marcia Regenbogen and Merri Milwe were also there-

I remember sneaking out of the bunk to steal the counselors ''snack''-only much later did I learn that the Borodkin's and Greenwald's left snack for the bunks
    whose counselors had pre-scheduled the ''raid'' (counselors regularly got pb&j for their snack)- Now how cool is that to safely allow kids to feel like they were on a raid' in alliance with their counselors and unbeknownst to them,
with the support of the owners!

Mike Distler was a younger friend of mine from Teaneck, NJ who came to camp his first year with my support!

Tomorrow I am visiting my daughter at Camp Nyoda, the closest type of camp to Farrington that I could find! This spurred me to search for Camp Farrington and am glad I found this site and would love to be in contact with anyone interested in hashing over Farrington memories! Says Amy Strickler

I was
 
    there from 65-68. I remember beating Lakeview in softball 3 times while I was there. Mike Distler and I were the stars of the team Says John Denker

Camp Farrington was the best. I was there in the 60's but don't remember exact
 years. I went one or two summers as a camper and then one summer when I was a little older as a waiter. My father Herbert Lederer was brother to Terry Greenwald. Terry and Howard Greenwald were two of the owners of the camp. One of my favorite memories was sneaking out of the bunk house after hours and pretending to be councillors as we made our way over to the girls bunk house. I so remeber the ''lily pond'' and monkey bridge and how much fun they were. Says
Ted Lederer

Yes - Truly the best. I was there for 5 or 6 summers from approx 1964 to 1969. I remember watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon among many highlights... Says Mike

Back in the 60's there was a sleep away camp called Camp Farrington. It was a fantastic place and one I remember as the most important in my life!Does anyone know or remember? I would love to get in touch with them. Says Lorna O'Farrell



Hello everyone. I am so happy that I found this site. I would like share a photo with you from the mid 60s when I was there. I went to Camp Farrington from 1963 to 1967. Hopefully some of you remember me from your times at camp and if so I would love to hear from you. I was in bunk 3 and bunk 10 over the years. I recently went back to find that most of the buildings are still there and being used. It is now being used as a phone repair business. It brought back many great and happy memories. I too remember the monkey bridge, ball field, snapping turtles, horse back riding at Sam's ranch and just having fun with the other girls. My e mail address is dianem172@verizon.net, if anyone would like to contact me. - Diane Malena (neeTivin)
