there are 2 short films of Tarigo
from the summers that i was there-shot on 16mm-they
lost alot of quality in going down to quicktime-but you can see them on youtube-they're
set to 'private' so you have to have an account on youtube
to view. Just do a search for Camp Tarigo-they're

Some of the best years I spent in my life. |
||||||||||
|
during the summers or 1939&1940 I was the camp
employee who did every thing. Weekends i drove to NY and picked up supplies for the week. To
campers to other camps to play games. Pacy and Lou
were the owners and lou's wife was one of the
nicest pwerson I ever met. I was only 16 & 17
but lied and had a phony chauffers license. It was
one of the best times in my life. i
enlisted in the air force in 1942 and afer the war
I got married and Lou invited my wife and me to spend a week or so at the
camp. Lou and pacy two great guys. I am now 88. Is
any of the Saltsmann or wilder children around? good to find the page. |
||||||||||
|
I only spent about six weeks in the summer of '69 at Ta-Ri-go, but it was a memorable six weeks. I was basically
the camp's truck driver and counselor for the waiters. I really don't
remember any names but the guys were a lot of fun. |

I begain as a Freshman in Apache in
1944 and in 1957 waws the nature counselor. |

Wow...lots of memories! |

As I get lder my memories become more sketchy. Uncle Pacy was
indeed one of my uncles. The photographs are powerful triggers that jog those
deeply embedded neuron that still fire occasionally. I also remember the
color war songs and the alma marter. You could
imagine the grins and the hoots from my family when I found myself in the
group photos. They were almost embarrassed for me when I started singing the
various songs. |

Jack, Lenni, Steven, Ellen and myself, along with most of our family members, went to
TARIGO today. We took pictures by sniders (of course singing Hiking on the
highway as we walked there), at the lake (now Lori Stamford's pond), at the Tarigo girl's basketball
courts, at the Tarigo sign and last but not least
took pictures by the fireplace where the rec hall used to be. Lori, Scott and
David Stamford's mom brought us by Michael Lewis' campgrounds where Michael
and Beaver shared stories with us. We then went to the Fleischmans
museum where they have a wall of Tarigo pictures.
After Tarigo we went to Woodstock. Memories,
memories, memories.....What a great day!!! This was up there with the Carol
King and James Taylor Concert. I went to the concert with Susan Glatter, Randy Klein, Ellen Pinsky (and we saw Janie Halper).
Please...Let's Have a Reunion!!!!!!! |
||||||||||||

Believe it or not the entire Pinsky
family has not been in Fleischemanns as a full

we make a pilgrimage long overdue. All are welcome to join us. |

The Fleischmanns Museum has a separate
area for Camp Tarigo memorabilia.Please
consider donating any camp memorabilia you may have to the museum so that

On March 15, 2010, during that terrible storm, a tree fell down
and killed Larry Krause (50) while he was leaving his synagogue in Teaneck.
Larry was a former TARIGOite. Our sympathies to his

I worked at Ta-Ri-Go in the summer of
1969. I was the counselor in the waiters' bunk as well as a camp driver. I
took the job, because my girlfriend and her mother - both artists - were
living in Woodstock and I wanted to be up there too.

As you can see, I've upgraded the look of our Website. We just

still enjoying the site and it is helping old friends find each other. The

Great memories. One years as a waiter
and one as a counselor. I remember the walks up the hill after movie night in
town. Tarigo's also where I got introduced to the
Doors.(hearing "The End" at age 17 was a
trip). Would appreciate hearing from anyone else around in those years. |

I think back to my camp years with great pleasure. I remember
standing on the porch of the arts and crafts building listening to the news
about the A bombing of Hiroshima. I now have a home in Roxburt
NY and pass Tarigo whenevr
going or returning to NJ. My kids and grandkids use it in the winter and ski
at Bellayre and Plattekill
mountains. I guess I am one of the oldest Tarigo
alumni. |

My family had a vacation home in Fleischmanns
in the 70's and 80's, and in the early 80's we stumbled upon Camp Tarigo while motorcycling through the woods. The camp at
that time was still very much in-tact, but completely abandoned. We were
always facinated with the camp, and the history of
it, but were never able to find any information. It's really exciting to find
this website. When we first discovered it we spent days exploring the camp.
Over the years that followed the camp was vandalized and most of the camp
equipment was subsequently stolen. And I was sad when the property was
developed. Keep up the great website! |

I have very fond memories of Camp. I still remember
"Uncle" Jerry getting us bunch of "ball players" out into
the woods for a hike with the hope that we would find an Indian burial
ground. It was a brilliant ploy and we had a great time. I also remember learning
the Hebrew grace, that I did not know, from a fellow
camper on the way down to the dining room.

Stumbled upon this site by accident. I played the piano for
shows and color wars over two fun summers, often under the direction of Joe
Allen [GREASE, WEST SIDE STORY]. The Allens were
distant relatives. In 1974, showing sympathies to Patty Hearst, et. al., the TaRiGo Liberation Army, a band of dissatisfied counselors
and staff, lashed out by taking over... [something;
was it the flagpole?]. During late 80s, while visiting friends in Woodstock,
I visited the site and saw the demolition in progress. In the mid-90s, while
watching a friend's friends' slide show, I realized that they built a house
on the site of my TaRiGo bunk. Currently practicing
as an actury consulting to multiemployer pension
funds in NYC area [and still playing the piano]. Cheers. |

Thank you Kathy Shenker for telling me
about this website. I have very fond and vivid memories of Tarigo, and, like Kathy, I was the youngest camper there
the first summer I went. I remember the way the bunks looked, how cold the
lake water was first thing in the morning, the "bug juice" and
chocolate milk and cookies after rest hour. And, of course, the plays --
Sound of Music, Cinderella, Peter Pan, etc... I was always on the color war
team that lost, but it was still a highlight of the summer. The last night of
every summer we always cried and sang "Friends, friends, friends, we
will always be." How great that so many people have kept in touch.

IN 1963 I had the claim to fame of being the youngest camper @ Ta-ri-go not having yet
been to first grade. I loved Ta-ri-go and no other
camp quite compared. I still get goose bumps when I hear Beautiful Dreamer. I
would love to hear from any of you who loved camp like I did. I still look
for green and white Syracuse china cuz it reminds
me of camp. The last time I was up there,Fleischmans
looked a bit different with quite a sizable Hasidic community. I'd definitely
try to make a reunion and would like to be on any lists. Go blue and Grey!

These assholes who are hacking this website are truly demented.
Can you just imagine how stupid they are and how miserable their lives must

I spent 10 summers at Tarigo and it
was a big part of my life. I have many great memories and think of it often,
particularly as I have sent each of my 4 kids to overnight camp (and am now
broke!) About 7 or 8 years ago, I took my family to Tarigo
and walked around the deserted camp which was a bittersweet experience. After
driving up Redkill Road I saw the Tarigo sign (the "A" was missing) and got
chills when I saw it. It's nice to connect with so many familiar names. |

The other day my 18 year old daughters asked why I hadn't gone
