Brother-Sister ADK of the 1970s

by Tuna July 31 alumni

Since 1904, we were strictly a boys camp for 69 summers. But in 1972, nearby Moss Lake Camp for Girls in Eagle Bay closed down and physically moved onto our peninsula in 1973 and became Moss Lodge for Girls. Despite sharing the same physical camp, Moss Lodge ran separately from Adirondack Camp for Boys. So for a short period of time from 1973 to 1979, ADK existed as a brother/sister camp. It wasn’t until Alex and Linda bought camp in 1980 that they merged both camps into the co-ed Adirondack Camp we know today.

He started out as an activity and cabin counselor for many years before becoming Adirondack Camp’s first videographer and eventually our first Media Coordinator. He is responsible for ADK’s website videos and photos, original weekly videos, and most of the camp’s graphic, branding, and marketing content. During the summer, Tuna manages social media, takes lots of photos, flys the drone, and supervises our photographers and videographer. He has been honored with the Adirondack Eagle and Director’s Award.
