Cub Scout Camp Avery Hand in 1984 part 2

When I was 9, I went to Cub Scout Camp. Camp Avery Hand was where I went, south of Mansfield, Ohio. My mom was the den leader, but the week we were scheduled to go to camp, my little sister got the Chicken Pox, so my dad filled in. He, of course, had his "new toy" with him and recoded whatever caught his eye.

Due to budget cuts, Camp Avery Hand was closed down permanently last year. At least with this video, we can remember it in it's heyday.

I can barely remember this long ago, but if anyone out there went to Avery Hand in 1984, and remembers a guy with a TV camera, you may want to see if you are in here. Most of the kids at the end would be 33-35 in 2009.

OMG, I can't believe you have this up. I'm the counselor in charge of this rowdy crew. I remember this well because we had to pull them out of the tents in the middle of the night because of the storm.

That was one of the best summers of my life. Thanks for posting it.

I remember the storm! There was water running in under the tents! That trip was one of my best memories of childhood. I'm glad to meet you ...again!
