Lake Stahahe, Orange County, New York     Custom Search User input for Lake Stahahe, Orange County, New York: Michael Sorrell: I was a camper at S2, Camp Nendawen, Orange, NJ - YMCA. Starting in 1959 ending as a counselor 1967. We had softball games with all the Lake Camps at the lake field next to Camp Trexler. Its a beautiful day at Camp Nendawen! Steve Alexander: I went to Camp Wabenake back in the early 60's. It was run by Ralph Hitman and his wife Rose. It was part of the Boys Brotherhood republic (BBR) located on east 6th street in Manhattan. I grew up in NYC and remember those days well. I am now 57 but remember it and the counsellors like it was yesterday. Best years of my life!! Ingrid Wolsk: Ken, I am 78 today, but as a kid, I went to a Fresh Air fund camp on Lake Stahahe. I was told then that there were 16 camps around the lake. I do not remember the name of the camp I was in but I do remember the name of Pequot. It may have been because it was described to us as the widlest of the boys camps. Wild in behaviour that is not wild life ! I guess I was in an all girls camp. I lived in N. Y. C. And was sent here with my sister as part of the program to get city kids out into the fresh air for a while. I still remember the star gazing walks to the lake late at night. Being fearful of water, I was cajoled rather insistantly into learning how to swim, so that I got my Red Cross beginners card. For the resistant like my self we were once taken to a camp on the lake for handicapped children. We saw children missing limbs that could swim. We were then told there is no such thing as I can't. ! A life lession was learned then, I guess. Lea: Camps Sebago and Wabenake are both on Wabenake Rd with the latter closer to County Highway 106 Ken Fairchild: I'm 73 now but still relive the years spent on Lake Stahaha at then Camp Pequot. That's over 63 years ago. Does anyone know the camps name now? I even still remember the camp cheer. Paul: As a kid growing up in the early 60s my dad use to take us there and I wonder what it's like now. Glen Southwick: I attended Camp Pratt on the lake in the 1950s. It was a YMCA camp back then. Lake was pristine and the fishing fabulous Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Review Guidelines        Lake Stahahe is a nice lake to visit.
