I lived in a project in the Bronx and later in a modest apartment in the west Bronx. My parents didn’t have the means to send me to camp, yet I went to Sussex. What an amazing camp with a wonderful staff. Today I am a 66 year old grandfather of 4 and am going into my 43rd year of teaching special needs. Camp Sussex remains in the back of my mind, the place I grew up and became a leader, able to give back to the next generations of underprivileged children. God bless camp Sussex!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-72213934280411407282021-12-25T16:12:59.092-05:002021-12-25T16:12:59.092-05:00Growing up in the Bronx in a NYC housing project w...Growing up in the Bronx in a NYC housing project without Camp Sussex I would never have had the opportunity to go to sleep-away camp. From 7 to aging out (1951-1956) my three week stay each summer was magic. Sussex taught me to swim and fish and gave me a respite from the Polio epidemic in the city.

I wished I could go to summer camp, too. I wonder if the family knows the state of the place now.Tarahttp://www.halstedbag.com/our-productsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-66770053697132306702013-03-28T22:55:29.809-04:002013-03-28T22:55:29.809-04:00Wow - what a cool connection.
