I don't remember where the patch was supposed to go, but I think it may have been part of our official dress camp uniform (long dark green shorts, white blouse, dark green tie, knee hi tassels, etc.)... I have very fond memories of Camp Addisone Boyce (in Tompkins Cove, NY) - had a ball at summer sleep-away camp 1971 - 74.

I was a camper at Andre Clark during the 1960’s!!    I remember so much…..such as the tents we slept in and some of the group names.  I have a few pictures by the pool.   I remember the lake and there was a frog called Prince Charming that sat at one end of the lake. I remember the dining hall and always having ‘top and sweep’ as my job and also remember the little store where I bought soda and stuff (can’t remember the name).    I was passing through there recently (Briarcliff Manor) and had no idea it still existed!

In 1951, the Boy Scouts sold the property to the Girl Scouts Council of Greater New York. There are varying accounts as to why this site, located between the Pouch Camp and the Moravian Cemetery at Rockland Avenue, was named High Rock. The most obvious and widely accepted explanation is that the land is high and rocky just beneath the topsoil. Gretta Moulton (1912-1971), an energetic camping consultant from Massachusetts, helped with the Girl Scout Camp’s program. Recognizing the magnificent beauty of this place, she worked to preserve it from the growing pressures of urban development. Gretta Moulton died in 1971, and her ashes were scattered in the park. In 1995, a gate to High Rock Park was erected to commemorate her contributions. This gate, designed by landscape architect Bradford Greene, depicts chipmunks, squirrels, turtles, and several plants native to Staten Island. A walking trail named for Moulton begins right inside the gate. The trail, marked in green, crosses a small creek and runs through forests and seasonal wetlands.

The Fairy Ring at Camp Hoover

Camp Kowaunkami to thee we sing, 
Friendship strong, faith, hope & charity.

When our days with you are o'er,
Our memories linger ever more.

Each girl is bound by ties of camping life, 
holding high the torch of friendship bright.
Campers all we're proud to be.
